Verbatim in reference link in RST by Sphinx

[sky-y]

When pandoc generates verbatim in reference link in rst from Pandoc's Markdown, Sphinx cannot interpret it correctly. Then I got an broken html output by Sphinx's make html.

• original text (modified): https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/2.11.0.4/MANUAL.txt#L136

verbatim-in-reference-link.rst (pandoc generated, wrong)

# pandoc.sh
pandoc verbatim-in-reference-link.md -o verbatim-in-reference-link.rst --reference-link -s

Note: it's could be out of scope for rst writer because it's related to Sphinx.I don't know that the verbatim in reference link should be satisfy the original rst spec (without Sphinx directives).

I doubt that the issue is specific to Sphinx (EDIT: confirmed: it's not).
And even if it is, we'd like to be Sphinx-compatible.
