Markdown - Actually 3 backticks "fenced codeblock" is extended syntax

I noticed to A Markdown parser created by ruby library ( called "gem" ) could not parser fenced code block.

But i knew now code block is not supported original Markdown syntax. It was so surprising to me.

Extended markdown syntax

ref

4 spaces code block is basic syntax.

The basic Markdown syntax allows you to create code blocks by indenting lines by four spaces or one tab. If you find that inconvenient, try using fenced code blocks. Depending on your Markdown processor or editor, you’ll use three tick marks (```) or three tildes (~~~) on the lines before and after the code block.

Extended Syntax | Markdown Guide

( table is also extended syntax )

I remembered Stackoverflow let us describe "four space indenting" for use code block. I've wondered "what a unuseful syntax is it".

But now I got a sense.

In my opinion

I like extended Markdown syntax (3 bucticks code block is so useful)

Can not parse well Markdown syntax in code block · Issue #659 · vmg/redcarpet
