@colinwalker I saw this yesterday in M.B, and it looks fine. Today I saw it in my feed reader (ReadKit via Feedly) and the two code blocks are the wrong way round. Nice colourful one first, then old black and white.

@devilgate I was going to mention this, I noticed the same thing in FeedBin. I think the Markdown code block is being recognised and certain feed readers include syntax highlighting whereas the second version is stored as plain text where the formatting is retained and the plugin does the work on site at the time of rendering. Because it’s plain text it isn’t recognised as a code block by the readers.
