hubski's markdown implementation is really bad for posting code because it still parses what's inside the code rather than outputting it verbatim. You STILL have to escape special symbols ilke + inside code too. It's very frustrating.

Agreed - not great for code, or for poetry / song-lyrics. I had to bung in two spaces at the front of every line to convince it to use a monospace font.

There ought to be a way to say "don't format this text at all please".
