Markdown code block example using backticks

code_example.md

Triple backticks are used to open and close code blocks. The triple backticks need to be on their own line:

puts "hello world"

And here is another, separate code block. Triple backticks open and close it:

puts "line 1"
puts "line 2"
puts "line 3"

Triple backticks can be used with a language keyword (e.g. one of ruby, bash, javascript) to print code with colored syntax highlighting.

Here's some Ruby:

puts "Hello"
puts "Goodbye"

Here's some JavaScript:

var x = 2 + 2;
alert("The answer is: " + x);

And here's some Bash:

ls
echo "Hi"

The end (not in a code block).
