$ mkdir "Wicked Witch of the West"
$ touch File\ Name\ With\ Spaces\ Using\ Backslash\ is used here as an escape character, meaning that it causes the character immediately after it to be designated as a character or symbol, in this case, a space ( ), rather than a separator that goes between arguments.
If we entered mkdir Good Witch of the East, we'd get 5 folders respectively named Good, Witch, of, the, and East.

~
~ in GitHub flavored markdown, ~ is used as a ~strike through~ delimiter (actual text: ~strike through~).
