What Tiptap version are you using?

2.2.0-rc.3

What’s the bug you are facing?

This issue was originally identified in the BlockNote project. For additional context and discussions, see Issue #338 in BlockNote.

When using backticks to format inline code, the expected behavior is that any text enclosed between two backticks should be formatted as inline code, regardless of the surrounding characters. However, the current implementation in TipTap does not consistently apply this formatting, especially when the backticks are surrounded by characters like parentheses, brackets, or other punctuation marks.

Issue can be replicated from the TipTap playground for the Code extension:

What did you expect to happen?

I expected that any text enclosed between two backticks, irrespective of surrounding characters, would be consistently formatted as inline code. This behavior should be uniform across different contexts and scenarios.
