title: How to escape backslash bracket (\[) in Markdown?
body: <p>How does one escape the "backslash square brackets" \[ \] sequence in Markdown for GitHub?
  The sequence produces a <code>&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</code> section. </p>
  
  <p>This is only a problem with Markdown for GitHub. I can write it here without the problem:</p>
  
  <p>\[something \]</p>
  
  <p>This code in GitHub will however produce </p>
  
  <p>\
      something</p>
