How do I add back-ticks within a GitHub suggestion and not have it escape the suggestion scope?

[ahsonkhan]

Imagine I am leaving a comment on a line which has just the following three back-ticks (in my scenario, the markdown file contains a yaml component which has three back ticks):

```

I want to leave the suggestion within a comment while doing code review, so the final markdown looks like:

```
Added new lines and content here, with more back-ticks ```

How can I do that, so the back-ticks are escaped? Using 4 back-ticks doesn't work, and neither does something like "\`".

I was hoping something like this would work, but that doesn't give the intended outcome:

```suggestion
```
Added new lines and content here, with more back-ticks ```
```

Here's a concrete, real life example:

Here's what I end up seeing in preview which isn't what I want. I don't want to suggest removing the line with the three back-ticks, I want the suggestion to add more lines after the back-tick, and those suggested new lines include back-ticks themselves.

It seems like the solution is to have the outer backticks for suggestion use 4 backticks, then the inner code block use the normal 3 backticks. See jonschlinkert/remarkable#146 (comment)

Thanks @markdboyd
Having 4 backticks in the suggestion block works exactly how I would expect, to get back-ticks within a suggested code-block in a GitHub comment. Like follows:

````suggestion
```
Added new lines and content here, with more back-ticks ```
````

Very nice. As suggested in that article, replacing the backticks by tildes works best I find:

~~~suggestion
```
Added new lines and content here, with more back-ticks ```
```
