markdown_mmd source option doesn't properly handle fenced code blocks

when converting to pdf via latex using the following command:

everything works as expected

however, when using this command:

mmd didn't used to support fenced code blocks. It looks like they do now, but only the backtick style (not tildes): http://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-5/fences.html I will revise pandoc so that backtick code blocks are included in markdown_mmd. In the mean time you can enable them manually with

Just realized this change when reading the changelog.

This is strange, because I remembered that MultiMarkdown has long (don't know how long though) been able to parse the

And then I recalled I once checked all relevant pandoc markdown extensions is enabled in the markdown_mmd variant. But apparently I missed this.
