How to use angle brackets in URL on Github Flavored Markdown?

Question

I want to use angle brackets in URL on Github Flavor Markdown.

Markdown:

1. Fork it ( http://github.com//oooooaaaa/fork )
<         


        

Answer 1

Using backslash inside a ()[] construction seems to work. (Tested on GitHub now.) It does not work on SO though.. For example:

1. Fork it ( [http://github.com/\/oooooaaaa/fork](http://github.com/\/oooooaaaa/fork) )
