Description
Is it possible to adjust the spell checking, so it won't mark everything in code fragments that are put in the markdown with single back ticks (v_args) or as blocks like the following one?
```c
int foo = EXIT_SUCCESS;
```

Research direction
Start from the spell-checking path in the macOS Markdown editor and trace how inline backtick spans and fenced code blocks are represented. Verify the behavior against both examples in the issue; done means text inside those code fragments is no longer marked by spell-checking while surrounding prose still is.
