Superscript within code block in Github Markdown
<p>The <code>&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;</code> tag is used for superscripts. Creating a code block is done with backticks. The issue I have is when I try to create a superscript within a code block, it prints out the <code>&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;</code> tag instead of formatting the text between the tag. </p>

<p>How do I have superscript text formatted correctly when it's between backticks?</p>

<p>Desired output:
<code>A<sup>2</sup></code> instead of <code>A&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;</code></p>
