markdown preview screenshot

When editing a markdown file (myfile.md) you can enter a code block using two techniques.  You can indent all of the code by 4 spaces, or you can mark the code block with three back-ticks.

When the code is indented 4 spaces, the preview pane displays the code block correctly.
# Sample Code

      <entry>
        <nodes>
          <node>a</nodes>
        </nodes>
      </entry>

When the code is marked by 3 back-ticks, the preview pane does not render any of the xml tags, and displays one of the back-ticks:
# Sample code

```
<entry>
  <nodes>
    <node>a</nodes>
  </nodes>
</entry>
```

We do not provide a markdown editor. Please press Alt+Shift+F1 when in the editor. This will tell you which plug-in provides that editor.
