CodeBlockLowlight

With the CodeBlock extension you can add fenced code blocks to your documents. It’ll wrap the code in <pre> and <code> HTML tags.

Type ```  (three backticks and a space) or ∼∼∼  (three tildes and a space) and a code block is instantly added for you. You can even specify the language, try writing ```css . That should add a language-css class to the <code>-tag.
