Create a code block, e.g:

```js
function main() {
  return 'test';
}
```

Now indent this block using Tab key:

    ```js
    function main() {
      return 'test';
    }
    ```

Now it gets rendered like an inline code, without code highlighting, with back-ticks visible:

This is not a bug.

But why it’s correct. On GitHub it works differently, and GitHub is the main application of Markdown in this world. Shouldn’t we follow the way it works?
