The description would continue after first closing code fence.
This solution:
- respects indentation
- will treat description as markdown
- seems close to what comes natural
With this solution, the description itself could even contain code blocks:
\\\`\\\`\\\`js
\$var = docusaurus.New(\$config);
\\\`\\\`\\\`
Pretty cool and the console becomes more readable too IMO, at least
you now see where the code ends and the explanation begins
\\\`\\\`\\\`
\$unMonicked = "should stay unmonicked, in other words powershell should not be added"
\$indentationRespected = \$True
\$theBadNews - "that PlatyPS seems to cut off this line if a .
is detected, wtf"
