I'm not positive which version of markdown Kakoune bases its highlighting on but I've found it most similar to GFM, whose spec states this is the intended behavior: a number of ` symbols open a code span to be closed by the same number of `.

[iacore]

Oh no

The autoloaded highlighters for markdown are here, for reference!

It seems like kak scans any amount of ` in a sequence.

Should I close this issue? It's trivial.
