missing explanation

[loldrup]

This document section uses single backticks in string literals without prior explanation:

https://ceylon-lang.org/documentation/1.3/tour/basics/#numbers

According to the documentation on string literals, backticks must always be escaped:

https://ceylon-lang.org/documentation/reference/literal/string/

So, when a single backtick isn't escaped, what does it then mean? (The first document should explain that)

[lucaswerkmeister]

Hm, the reference is wrong, a single backtick has no special meaning (in a Markdown doc string, it means a bit of code), and doesn’t need to be escaped.

However, a double backtick has to be escaped, see the specification
