Code fences with ~~~
have been supported in the forum since at least 2017:
However, when replying by email the reply trimmer truncates messages on ~~~
lines, likely mistaking them for delimiters. For example, sending the literal source text
Prose before fenced code.
~~~
Fenced Code
~~~
Prose after fenced code.
results in a post containing just “Prose before fenced code.”. Using a fence of back-ticks works fine.
