backticks — tagged template literals — breaking Marked 2 preview
I've been using Marked (and now Marked 2) for quite some time and like it very much.
I'm having a problem with code that has backticks within it. I've read the materials and the solution to use fenced code blocks isn't working for me. Marked 2 seems to hang.
I've attached a sample of the preview. Pasting the problematic code into this comment doesn't really work. But it's straightforward enough — using backticks within fenced code blocks isn't working for me.

Never mind. I discovered that the problem goes away if I open the file directly in Marked 2. I was using BBEdit's "Preview in Marked 2" command which works for everything else but appears to choke on backticks.

Yes, I believe you'll need to indent the block containing backticks rather than fencing it (4 spaces or one tab). The nested backticks confuse Marked's handling.
