Is it possible to escape Remarkup elements? Say you wish to refer to S3 and you have at least 3 spaces configured you... kinda can't as it becomes an active element.
It'd be nice to be able to escape the S with the traditional backslash so that it's inactive. Same goes for *, _ and other tidbits.
That's assuming something like this isn't already there. :)
Edited:
Basically I just want to be able to type, for example, "We should get S3 storage with Wobblebottom." and have it come out as a normal sentence with normally displaying words.
All the current solutions either put weirdness there (grey boxes, turn it into links, etc) or force a paragraph (with added weirdness :) ).
It'd also be nice to type in an asterisk in the beginning of a line without it becoming a bullet point and so on. Or to write a URL like http://www.cow.org/ without it becoming a link but with it being a normal part of the sentence.

Disabling Parsing: Percentages! (%%%)
It seems you can disable Remarkup for some lines creating a block with %%% (newline) %%%.
Example Remarkup:
%%%Example something T15231 etc. S2 **not bold** yeah //not italic// Example Example ~~eheh~~ %%%
How the above Remarkup renders:
something T15231 etc. S2 **not bold** yeah //not italic//
Example Example ~~eheh~~
↑ As you can see, stuff inside %%% is not expanded, it's not monospaced: it's just normal disarmed Remarkup text.
Creating monospaced grey text: 1 Backtick! (`)
Also, you can of course put stuff inside backticks (`) but that will change the rendering.
So that `things` become `like this` in grey and with a monospace font and `**without expanding bold** //italic// S2 spaces T123 Tasks etc.`.
Rendering:

Monospace block: 3 Backticks Block!
You can also do this to create a monospaced block:
```
VERY LONG STUFF T123 S1 **bold
VERY LONG STUFF // italic
```
Rendering:
VERY LONG STUFF T123 S1 **bold VERY LONG STUFF // italic
Disabling stuff
As avivey said, you can configure the site Config remarkup.ignored-object-names (in page /config) to just ignore specific words like S3.
