Here’s a code block below showing how to do code blocks. It works

````
```JavaScript
function some(JavaScript, "code") {}
```

````

Then here’s the same code block without the indent. That works too

```JavaScript
function some(JavaScript, "code") {}

```

Then here’s another code block of a code block just like the first one above. It is not working in fact it’s showing up directly inline in this paragraph for some reason

````
```
function some(JavaScript, "code");
```

````

And finally another unindented code block half works (not sure why it’s not highlighted the string same as 2 blocks up

```javascript
function some(JavaScript, "code"){}

```

I can guess the second half issue is because I used `JavaScript` above and `javascript` below. I actually came here to propose and possibly implement that being case insensitive. Funny though, in my installation of discourse I get the opposite behavior. `JavaScript` has less highlighting than `javascript`.

#update

Let’s try this again

and here’s a screenshot of the issue. The red area on the left is functionally identical to the green area on the left but the green area is not getting converted to a code block the same as the red area

[Here’s the raw content of the post](http://pastebin.com/rLFH5a3T) so you can try it yourself.

Hopefully you’ll now see the bug
