I want to educate some users on using code fences for posting code. How can I post three ticks (```) as text without the “after one tick mark text as preformatted”?

It’s very, very tricky to get that right inline. Another way is backslash ``` \`\`\`

How to write three ticks (`) in post content?

And yes, I’m happy with my solution. Thanks!
