I have a markdown page that has Kotlin code in it. I've fenced the code with:

 <some code>
<pre><code>
The markdown renders correctly in Marked, but when I use the output to HTML save option, the resulting HTML page displays the fencing and unformatted code. I have verified there aren&#39;t any stray backticks. 

Suggestions?</code>

    And my post was munged. Corrected:
    I have some kotlin code fenced thusly:
    ```kotlin
        <some code>
    ```
    The markdown renders correctly in Marked, but when I use the output to HTML save option, the resulting HTML page displays the fencing and unformatted code. I have verified there aren't any stray backticks.

    Suggestions?

    Digging into this, I don't think this is an issue with the output style. Other builtin output forms (ie Amblin) exhibit the same issue.

    Source and output files attached.

    I'm able to output correct HTML without issue from your Markdown file. What method are you using to export the HTML? Like what steps do you take, just so I can be sure I'm replicating exactly.

    Also, please go to Help->Report an Issue and copy the contents of that field into your response.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for getting back to me. Within the Marked window, I go to lower right, click the arrow, then click the HTML option. The save options for HTML are set as:

    Include style in output : GitHub
    Include Highlighting JS
    Don’t include MathJax
    Don’t Embed local images
    Reveal in finder after save

    and then click the save button.

    It works fine for me with your settings, so I'm a bit puzzled. What gets saved as HTML runs through the same processes as what's displayed in the preview, for the most part.

    Out of curiosity, if you switch to MultiMarkdown in Preferences->Processor, do you have any better luck with the export?

    Thanks,
    Brett

    Same result, but then I unchecked the "Track CSS Changes" option in the style pref pane (not sure how it got checked), and it started working,

    So, crisis averted. Thanks.
