Modifed Python-Markdown for better fenced code support

Posted on Disqus:

Today I committed a modifed version of Python-Markdown. Previously, this pip library only supports fenced block at document root level. It is quite inconvenient as often times, we need to nest a code blog inside an ordered list. You can check my previous post for a demo.

You can install it via pip through my git repo:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/evertqin/Python-Markdown#egg=markdown

After installation, you can start embedding code within <li> tags, start by indenting ~~~~ at the same level as the list. The indentation level of the embeded code control the indentation of the outputing html.
Here I am aligning the code block at the root level.

  1. This is a sample

    1
    var test = new Object();

  2. This is another List

    1. Nested List

      1
      var test = 'test';

      Some other text within the list

    2. Nested List

      1
      var test = 'test';

  3. Continue the list
