Considering the first line is a span block, I don't think you realize what you see is not necessarily what others see.

    I now understand the issue better, but since it's a request from a lemmy user and the issue appears to be on kbin - I'll leave it as is.

    Makes sense. Though I'll note I find folks find help via methods of others asking for the same thing so a Kbin user could easily come across this post trying to find an answer to a similar problem. That being said, I don't have a good suggestion for a workaround so leads me back to "makes sense."

    Only kbin users are seeing what you see. It looks fine on other Lemmy instances.

    Lemmy and kbin do weird things with code blocks. From the source, the post itself clearly only contained backticks. Lemmy sends out marked-up text. kbin escapes it.
