Linking to other identifiers does not work after "``foobar``" is introduced

[brameret]

Expected Behavior

When a docstring has a `module.identifier`, it should always resolve the link.

Actual Behavior

When a docstring has a mention with double back quotes ``something``, afterwards the `module.identifier` does not resolve anymore.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a foobar/__init__.py with the following content:

   VERSION = "0"
   """
   The identifier `foobar.VERSION` links correctly to the version,
   but ``if there are double back quotes``,
   this link does not work anymore `foobar.VERSION`
   (without warning)
   """

2. pdoc3 foobar --html
3. See html/index.html that the first foobar.VERSION is resolved but not the second one.

Additional info

• pdoc version: 0.6.3

If you just need a backtick literal, have you tried \-escaping?

To include a literal backtick character within a code span, you can use multiple backticks as the opening and closing delimiters:

``There is a literal backtick (`) here.``

One of the code-parsing regular expressions seems to fail to account for this special case.

Thanks for your answer.

In fact, I did not use double backticks to introduce literal backtick. The double backticks just occurred in my docstrings, and I was very confused because I did not understand why "Linking to other identifiers" did not work with my project. I was just struggling with "fully qualified names" trying to make it work. It was one of the features that made me choose pdoc3 😉
