Be aware that any preceding paragraph content should be properly terminated with a double line break, too. So, this example is wrong: <pre> This is an ordinary paragraph ``` This will be monospaced ``` </pre> The correct version is: <pre> This is an ordinary paragraph ``` This will be monospaced ``` </pre> Note that some keyboard layouts treat the backtick as a [[dead key|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key]], making it hard to type. The trick is to type three backticks followed by a space. Alternatively, type all six backticks in one go, then a space, and then move the cursor back three characters to type or paste the content.
