Being the author really helps integrating the code into fossil paradigm,
deal with licencing stuff, and adding new features efficiently. It might
even take less time for me to write support for fenced code blocks than
both e-mails on this mailing list :-)

I should really clarify that it was about *fenced* code blocks, since
traditional markdown code blocks are correctly supported (unless there
is a serious bug in there).

I do understand the use of code blocks, and use them myself frequently.
But only the indented version, because the fenced one feels to me like
trading a lot of ease of reading for a little bit of ease of writing (or
rather cut-and-pasting, I don't think it changes much for real writing).
And that's without taking into account that on top of that most of my
documents (even in markdown) are read much more often than written.

Of course, I'm bias by my using only decently-featured text editor. If I
had to insert manually a tabulation at the beginning of every line, I
would consider changing the editor before condering chaning the
language.
