    Recently I have run into a few situations where I really wanted to avoid Markdown messing with segments of text, and there isn't a completely intuitive way to deal with that by default, so I put together a quick solution. And.. while I was at it I added some support for rendering Textile and ReST from within Markdown as well.

    Cool. Went in and fixed it up first thing this morning (may have to reload the page to get a refresh of the css file), so code blocks are making a bit more sense now.

    Thanks for pointing out where it was going wrong Luke.

    Looks like the first declaration in screen.css is the culprit. Either take pre out of the reset, or change its font-family.

    Are my <code> tags not using a fixed width font? Really? Is that what is happening here? Hrm.
