API conventions: escape back-quotes when visible
> When referencing another field name, indicate the name in back-quotes. Example: "must be greater than `request`". In this sentence, we're meant to see "request" surrounded by back-quotes. In markdown, backticks (back-quotes) are used to create a code section, and thus aren't shown. By escaping them, they are shown to the user.
