Wrong code block output?

[gopar]

import markdown2
text = """
```
- (void)openWebsocketWithURL:(NSURL *)url {

    // Create a security policy that enforces SSL validation
    SRSecurityPolicy *securePolicy = [[SRSecurityPolicy alloc] initWithCertificateChainValidationEnabled:YES];
}
```
"""
print(markdown2.markdown(text))

Produces the following:

<p>```
- (void)openWebsocketWithURL:(NSURL *)url {</p>

<pre><code>// Create a security policy that enforces SSL validation
SRSecurityPolicy *securePolicy = [[SRSecurityPolicy alloc] initWithCertificateChainValidationEnabled:YES];
</code></pre>

<p>}
```</p>

From what I understand it should produce everything inside a code tag and no pre tag like so:

text = "``` a = 90 ```"
print(markdown2.markdown(text))
# Prints out
# <p><code>a = 90</code></p>

Am I incorrect or am I missing something?

You'll need to enable the fenced-code-blocks extra to get those kind of code blocks.

Try:

markdown2.markdown(text, extras=["fenced-code-blocks"])

and let me know if that works.

Hey Yeah that works but what I'm curious about is why the extra parameter is needed? We have other snippets of code that we are passing that are similar to this one and the output is just fine.

Also, I can't really use fenced-code-blocks since what I've noticed is that when code is surrounded by 3 backticks it'll produce <code>...</code> output. But when using spaces it'll use <pre><code>...</code</pre>. We're counting on that behaviour to make decisions.

The default code block formatting is to capture anything that is indented by 4 spaces. I'm wondering if the ones you're seeing that work are because of this?

...   src: '/path/to/font/file';
... }
... ```
... '''
>>> md(text, extras=['fenced-code-blocks'])
u"<p><code>css@font-face {\n   font-family: 'my font';\n   src: '/path/to/font/file';\n}\n</code></p>\n"

Why the result is not this?

u"<pre><code>@font-face {\n   font-family: 'my font';\n   src: '/path/to/font/file';\n}\n</code></pre>\n"
