Again, just clarifying for people who might not be familiar: the code fencing in markdown often allows the initial backtick trio to be followed by a filetype which aids clients in syntax highlighting. They look like so:
```bash
```javascript
```ruby
I don't suggest gemini needs that, but know that people may assume the behavior because it is familiar. It might be easier to declare lines starting with 3 backticks to be the code fence barriers regardless of what comes later. If clients want to develop extra syntax highlighting they could, but mostly it would mean people pasting code they'd use on GitHub or stackoverflow will not be surprised by broken wrapping.
