    <!-- Note about following list and code block contexts: according to the
         Markdown syntax, to write several paragraphs in a list item, we have
         to indent each paragraph. Example:

         - Item A (paragraph 1).

             Item A (paragraph 2).

             Item A (paragraph 3).

         - Item B.

         So there is a conflict in terms of syntax highlighting between an
         indented paragraph inside a list item (4 spaces or 1 tab) and an
         indented line of code outside a list (also 4 spaces or 1 tab). In this
         language file, since a full context analysis can't be done (because
         line break can't be used in regex), the choice was made ​​to highlight
         code block only from 2 levels of indentation. -->

    <!-- Example (unordered list):
         * Item
         + Item
         - Item

         Example (ordered list):
         1. Item
         2. Item
         3. Item

         wrapped with backticks indicates a code span. Markdown allows to use
         one or more backticks to wrap text, provided that the number is identical
         on both sides, and the same number of consecutive backticks is not
         present within the text. The current language file supports code span
         highlighting with up to 2 backticks surrounding text. -->
