Emphasis inside code blocks

[__note]

I just want to emphasise some code inside code blocks. I tried do it the same way as outside ("**") and using HTML tags but it doesn't work. I won't be surprised if it is hard to make it work because code blocks must treat everything in it literally but I would be very grateful if you can help me.

With markdown syntax it is impossible. But nothing stops you from using HTML blocks. :)

Code:

test

<pre><code>
test <strong>test</strong> test
</code></pre>

test

such code works great. Unfortunately, any other html WON'T be escaped there so you need to put &lt; and &gt; manually if you have < or > there.

HOWEVER. You can use markdown span enabler - markdown="span":

Code:

test

<pre><code markdown="span">
test **test** test
</code></pre>

test

It will convert all "span"-type syntax inside the <code> tag. Block syntax won't be touched and you will have also escaping.

Second solution perfectly suits my needs. Thanks!
