show quarto-code example in quarto document with inline code

[jweinert]

I want to include a quarto code chunk in a quarto document that contains inline code. According to the documentation, it should work like this https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-code.html:

````
---
title: "My document"
---
Some markdown content.
```{{python}}
1 + 1
```
Some additional markdown content.
````

which works. However, if "Some markdown content" contains some inline code, it is always executed:

````
---
title: "My document"
---
Some markdown content `r today()`.
```{{python}}
1 + 1
```
Some additional markdown content.
````

How can I prvent the r today()being executed inside the

 ````
some Markdown `r today()`
````

Thanks

This works for me (where the zero-width space with code 8203 is documented in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space ).
But maybe it can be done in an easier way.

qmd-file

---
title: "Untitled"
format: html
---

The date `r lubridate::today()` is produced by \`​r lubridate::today()\` 

```{{r}}
1 + 1
```
Some additional markdown content.

You need to use some knitr tricks as inline R code will be evaluated by knitr no matter the markdown syntax around (code chunk) - it is not aware of it. Quarto alone won't be able to prevent evaluation by knitr of the inline code.

See the recent verbatim engine that was created for that purpose.
