I'm having a hard time finding any real answer to this (really simple?) question on google, and I'm starting to worry that there is no solution.
I am learning github markdown. I would like to show some example code that contains fake email address like user@example.com. But github insists on auto-linking this text. I also have a large chunk of text that has many special characters.
Is there a way to escape blocks or sections so that no special characters are processed, and no auto-links are generated?
