Package: ikiwiki
Version: 3.20170111
Severity: normal

Hello,

I've been using fenced code blocks for a while since I usually post
about technical issues or howtos. That used to be available in Discount,
used through ikiwiki, with a line that contains only a set of more than
three ~ characters above and another one below the code block.

That was activated by an option when ikiwiki was calling discount, and
for some reason that option was removed. So all fenced code block
rendering was completely broken by that change.

Discount can have that feature enabled by an environment variable, so
I've tried specifying that variable in the environment variables in my
wiki's .setup file but that unfortunately didn't bring fenced code
blocks back.

Apparently the only way to re-enable the missing option is to patch
ikiwiki.

I'm wondering why that was removed without any means to bring it back.
I'd very much like to be able to re-enable fenced code blocks.
