Fenced Code Extension for Python Markdown
=========================================

This extension adds Fenced Code Blocks to Python-Markdown.

    >>> import markdown
    >>> text = '''
    ... A paragraph before a fenced code block:
    ... 
    ... ~~~
    ... Fenced code block
    ... ~~~
    ... '''
    >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['fenced_code'])
    >>> html
    u'<p>A paragraph before a fenced code block:</p>\\n<pre><code>Fenced code block\\n</code></pre>'

Works with safe_mode also (we check this because we are using the HtmlStash):

    >>> markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['fenced_code'], safe_mode='replace')
    u'<p>A paragraph before a fenced code block:</p>\\n<pre><code>Fenced code block\\n</code></pre>'
    
Include tilde's in a code block and wrap with blank lines:

    >>> text = '''
    ... ~~~~~~~~
    ... 
    ... ~~~~
    ... 
    ... ~~~~~~~~'''
    >>> markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['fenced_code'])
    u'<pre><code>\\n~~~~\\n\\n</code></pre>'

Multiple blocks and language tags:

    >>> text = '''
    ... ~~~~{.python}
    ... block one
    ... ~~~~
    ... 
    ... ~~~~.html
    ... <p>block two</p>
    ... ~~~~'''
    >>> markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['fenced_code'])
    u'<pre><code class="python">block one\\n</code></pre>\\n\\n<pre><code class="html">&lt;p&gt;block two&lt;/p&gt;\\n</code></pre>'
