### Will the default code markdown be changed to code fences? Currently if you click the code (`{}`) icon in the editor, then the selected text is still indented (or unindented) by 4 white spaces. [![enter image description here][1]][1] As the indent method's way of defining a language for a specific code block (`<!-- language: python -->` for example) is deprecated¹, then shouldn't the default functionality of the button be to wrap the code in a code fence (```) instead?

While it will still work for the time being on four-space indented code blocks, it may/will be removed in the future.</sup>
