It would be nice if triple-backticks could be use to enclose code blocks,
as an alternative to indenting by four spaces.
Ideally, these triple-backticks could be followed by some language
to indicate the desired syntax highlighting.
For example one could input:
```python
def square(x):
r"""
Return the square of the input.
"""
return x*x
```
and see it rendered as
def square(x):
r"""
Return the square of the input.
"""
return x*x
