# Here is a paragraph with a <a href="">link</a> where I would also like to show some `code`. 

Good: The backticks show. Bad: The link HTML is displayed.

* Here is a paragraph with a <a href="">link</a> where I would also like to show some `code`. 

Is it possible to add support for markdown style links to paragraph text eg:
