<ul dir="auto">
<li>VSCode Version: 1.1.1</li>
<li>OS Version: Windows 10</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Steps to Reproduce:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Open the attached file <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/files/301913/markdown.txt">markdown.txt</a> in VSCode.</li>
<li>Enable word wrap to be able to view the entire paragraph.</li>
<li>Rename the file to have the '.md' extension identifying it as Markdown</li>
<li>Observe syntax coloring of the markdown text.   The entire sentence starting with the phrase "One set of encoded values" is inappropriately colored blue because the syntax highlighting code in VSCode is confused by the example.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Note: results from processing this markdown using grunt-markdown results in HTML producing the desired effect, the flaw seems to be in the markdown highlighting logic.</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>VSCode Version: 1.1.1</li>
<li>OS Version: Linux Mint LMDE 2</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Steps to Reproduce:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Create new markdown file.  Type in:</li>
</ol>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="The TeX command `\TeX` is fun! So is `\LaTeX`!"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">The TeX command `\TeX` is fun! So is `\LaTeX`!
</code></pre></div>
<p dir="auto">Problem:<br>
In markdown ``` doesn't appear to be registered as an opening code literal for syntax highlighting.<br>
Code will highlight this as shown:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12069845/15714738/5fb205fc-27e1-11e6-941f-1321f3035f75.png"><img src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12069845/15714738/5fb205fc-27e1-11e6-941f-1321f3035f75.png" alt="markdownhilight" style="max-width: 100%;"></a></p>
<p dir="auto">I was looking into possibly fixing this, but I found this statement</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">some of VS Code's built-in colorizers (e.g. Markdown) are integrated differently and cannot be overridden.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">here <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/customization/colorizer" rel="nofollow">https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/customization/colorizer</a>.  So I didn't know where to look really.</p>
