This was already discussed in great detail. Afaik the result was just to use 
HTML. So instead of writing all these `~`, just do this: 

<pre><code>
I am preformatted {
    don't interpret me;
}
Everything in here is to be
taken ****literally****.
</code></pre>

If I'm mistaken and this was not the proposed solution, please point it out.
