"Add code" button and markdown backticks seem to be interfering

[sidemt]

This is based on feedback from Abbey. There seems to be something is not quite right when adding/editing the code block.

To create a code block, it looks like you can type three backticks and the programming language and then type your code - but when I type three backticks to end the code block, it doesn't end it - it keeps formatting it like code

pressing the </> button stopped that formatting - but I think we need to enable markdown syntax where a code block can be "finished" by just typing the three backticks. Many of our authors use markdown to write their articles.

This is because the content is automatically ended with three backticks, meaning you are in the middle of the surrounding backticks.

To exit the code formatting you need to press Command + Enter.

I believe this behaviour is same as the one in Ghost.
