Should be able to use ```` for multi-line code block

[emmajane]

Currently I need to indent lines by four spaces to have them display as a multi-line code block. I would love to be able to use the syntax for a fenced code block: four backticks to open a code block, and then four backticks again to close the code block. As best I can tell this was not part of the original "spec" for markdown (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax), and may have been something that GitHub introduced? This is low priority as there is a way to do code blocks currently.

I need to upgrade PHP-Markdown to 1.4. I think it supports fenced code blocks. I thought it did already anyway, but it used a slightly different format before? Or maybe it didn't. Either way, I think I need to update the dependency. :)

so markdown was updated, is this ticket still valid? or are fenced codeblocks not supported in markdown 1.4?

@jrobeson I still need to verify this. Should be easy to try. Hopefully in the next few days. Possibly someone else can try it out on the sculpin-blog-skeleton and create a new post showcasing fenced code blocks assuming it works.

I use fenced codeblocks and indeed they work for me.
