I've either missed something fundamental or it's simply a bug, but blocks of code gets stripped of their indentation and linebreaks

   Please post a sample file that this happens on.

   I've also tried creating my own files in sublime edit and byword without success.

   However, I apparently missed the option "Convert fenced code blocks" which "fixes the problem". Though I am unsure if it's a feature (to remove the line breaks) or a bug?

   Fenced code blocks are _not_ part of standard Markdown, and can lead to unexpected behavior for non-Github users. Thus it's off by default, though I may give up on that line of thought eventually.

   I also have an issue with code blocks. When i have the code block in the bottom of the document where i intend to use it it does not work, but when i paste the exact same code block into a new document it works as expected.

   You'll need to provide an example for testing.

   The code block in question:

   ```Autohotkey
   ~LWin Up:: return
   RWin::RButton
      Return
   ```

   When i paste the code block in a new document it renders correctly:

   When i use it in the current document:

   Used in the attached document:

   I did not include this information in the post since i did not want this published.

   Opening your file directly renders as: http://ckyp.us/Hhtu

   Does your document use any Windows line endings or anything?

   It does not render correctly for me even when i open it directly in marked. Same problem...

   Is it my settings:

   or version:

   Settings was set from an article on your site: http://support.markedapp.com/kb/how-to-tips-and-tricks/using-marked-with-github-flavored-markdown-and-syntax-highlighting.

   Any suggestions?

   Your settings are fine. Was this file edited on Windows, though? The \r line endings may be affecting the code block parsing. Like I said, the file opens fine for me in Marked 1.4.3 using the same settings, so there must be something else going on with the file as you read it. What editor are you working in?

    Hm,

    It might have created the file on windows and used dropbox sync and continued editing on my mac.

    If that is the case i would still like marked to be able to handle it.

    I will look at the line endings and see if there is anyting weird going on.

    Changing the line endings using the line ending package for sublime fixed the problem.

    Thanks for you help.
