Actually, there were two other problems with that snippet. First, in
the article, I had an extra backtick quote (which is why you can see
an actual backtick up there in your quoted text).
Second, and worse, there's a bug in 1.0b1 where ampersands aren't
always getting encoded within code spans. If you write this:
Ampersand: `&`
Markdown should translate that to:
Ampersand: <code>&</code>
But in 1.0b1, it was translating it to:
Ampersand: <code>&amp;</code>
This is fixed for b2.
