Description
### What
When in Markdown editing mode, code blocks don't have any sort of formatting or highlighting.

### Why
It would make reading Markdown notes in editing mode easier if we formatted code blocks similarly to how we format code snippets (text wrapped in single backticks).
### How
It would be nice if, at a minimum, we formatted code blocks similarly to how we format single-line snippets.

Research direction
Start in the Markdown editing-mode entry point and trace how single-backtick code snippets are formatted. Compare that behavior with fenced code blocks and verify in the macOS editor that code blocks have equivalent visual formatting.
