I think I have found the solution to a GitHub issue, but it involves a bit of advanced RegEx in Ruby. (I rarely worked with Ruby and I wouldn’t call myself a professional in RegEx). The problem is that when you have let’s say 5 (anything above 3) opening backticks then the parser encounters 3 backticks, it will automatically close the code block. Basically the code is as follows:

  def escape_liquid_tags_in_codeblock(content)
      # Escape codeblocks, code spans, and inline code
      content.gsub(/[[:space:]]*~{3}.*?~{3}|[[:space:]]*`{3}.*?`{3}|`{2}.+?`{2}|`{1}.+?`{1}/m) do |codeblock|
        codeblock.gsub!("{% endraw %}", "{----% endraw %----}")
        codeblock.gsub!("{% raw %}", "{----% raw %----}")
        if codeblock.match?(/[[:space:]]*`{3}/)
          "n{% raw %}n#{codeblock}n{% endraw %}n"
        else
          "{% raw %}#{codeblock}{% endraw %}"
        end
      end
    end

First of all, a block of code in markdown can be at least 3 backticks (`) or tildes (~), not necessarily exactly 3. I believe I know the solution for this problem, but I just need to know if it is possible to write something like this?

[[:space:]]*`{N}.*?`{N}

where N can be any number, but of course, the number of beginning and closing ticks have to be equal.

I also believe that the if statement should be {3,} not {3}. If anyone can tell me how to have a regex of N beginning backticks and N closing backticks that would be great. I would also be open to any suggestions on how to go about the issue.

I tried ChatGPTing it, but ChatGPT didn’t give me the right RegEx if it is even possible.
