The quotation includes an embedded quotation and a code quotation and ends with
an ellipsis due to being incomplete.
Now let's have an indented code block:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("# hello markdown\n");
return 0;
}
and end with a fenced code block:
~~~pseudocode
#include <something.h>
#include <else.h>
a block {
a statement;
another statement;
}
