Question
In python, there are some special variables and filenames that are surrounded by double-underscores. For example, there is the
__file__
variable. I am only able to get them to show up correctly inside of a code block. What do I need to enter to get double underscores in regular text without having them interpreted as an emphasis?
Solution
__file__
Put a backslash before the first underscore.
Like this:
\__file__
OTHER TIPS
You can also put a backslash before the final underscore
__file_\_
gives you
__file__
You can use _
in place of left underscores. Example:
__file__
`*
` The same holds true for the star-character or any markdown syntax. Bbackticking works well.
_\_file__
enter this will help you.
Just you need to write it like this in markdown
\_\_file\_\_
