Description

If we're going pedantic,

doc_markdown should also suggest [ ] potentially around the backticks?

Do we stand half a chance of figuring out when that would be most appropriate? (If not we could suggest both options)

Research direction

Start by locating the doc_markdown lint and reviewing how it currently suggests backticks. Determine whether the lint can identify when square brackets would be appropriate, or whether it should suggest both forms. Done means the suggestion behavior is defined and covered for the relevant cases.
