If you are using vim, you can put this in ~/.vim/after/syntax/rst.vim:

   syn region rstInlineLiteral matchgroup=Special start="``" end="``" 
concealends
   syn region rstEmphasis matchgroup=Special start="\*\*" end="\*\*" 
concealends
   setlocal conceallevel=2

This will hide the ``foo`` and **bar** markup on lines that are not
currently under the cursor.
