I used triple backticks for code blocks in Dev.to, and my post rendered as raw text. Dev.to uses Redcarpet markdown, which doesn't support fenced code blocks — you have to use 4 spaces to indent code.
I also used strikethrough, which doesn't work on Dev.to. Only basic markdown is supported: bold, italic, links, headers, and lists.
If you're posting to Dev.to, test your markdown first. Their flavor is limited, and fancy markdown breaks posts.
