Using Github Markdown: How to get literal Pipe into a table [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:



  • How to escape a pipe char in a code statement in a markdown table?

    3 answers



I am producing a cheat sheet using Unix commands and markdown. When I use a pipe in a Unix command I get an extra column. I can't seem to find the character to give a literal |. The pipe between ls and wc gives 4 columns.



Example:



| # | Command | Description |
|:--|:--------|:------------|
| 1. | ls | wc –l | count number of files in a directory. |


Tried: backslash, forward slash, single backtick, triple backtick, surround it with 2 spaces, **,<code> </code>,

This is the schema for the table I am trying to query CREATE TABLE "ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL" ( `_ID` INTEGER NOT NULL, `ACT_NAME` VARCHAR NOT NULL, `ACT_CODE` VARCHAR, `IS_ACTIVE` INTEGER DEFAULT -1, PRIMARY KEY(`_ID`) ) Below is the activity that creates the sqlite helper and then on a button click I execute a query on the ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL. When the query is executed this exception is thrown: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table: ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL (code 1 SQLITE_ERROR): , while compiling: SELECT * FROM ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL class CalendarActivity : AppCompatActivity() { private var cursor:Cursor? = null override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState:Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.calendar_activity...
