Links in Code Blocks

[Jak Wings]

Fenced code block is not in vanilla Markdown. "kramdown" can let you write this way:

<pre markdown="1" class="lang-markdown">
This code block contains an embedded [hyperlink](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink).
</pre>

It is really unusual to have links inside code block (which should be kept as is). So you'd better use raw HTML code instead of mixing them up.

<pre class="lang-markdown">
This code block contains an embedded <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink">hyperlink</a>.
</pre>

And, I also realize that what I'm asking for is diametrically opposed to what a Code Block is meant to be (even one with syntax highlighting.  It's a "WYSIWYG" functionality, and I'm trying to circumvent it (at least partially).
