How do you escape the trademark or copyright symbol in markdown?

With markdown I want to say something like:

The parser consumes a .tm file.

But (in my GitHub readme.md markdown file) and also using Markdown Pro on my mac, markdown wants to make the tm a superscripted TM trademark symbol. I've tried backslashes in various locations .\tm, .\t\m, .(tm), etc. but I just end up with the slashes in the output text. Does anyone know how this is supposed to work?

As I type this I can see that stackoverflow is using markdown and I'm not getting that behavior! Whuuhh? Insight appreciated!

Solution

  • Problem solved. Turns out it's got nothing to do with markdown. Mac OS X has a text replacement feature that makes the TM symbol automatically. Edit->Substitutions->Text Replacement
