    the actual behavior here is to echo the literal string “$foobar”, because the $ sign is escaped. so no variable expansion will take place at all.

        You should use markdown’s inline code (single `backtick`) and

        block code
        (triple backtick)
        

        tags. They are consistent across most markdown renderers (except Reddit’s, which uses four-space indentations (like, who the fuck thought that was a good idea?))
