Both my clients try to display content as the author wrote it and I
parse it line by line so I don't see any issue with the proposal as
long as I can get the viewport size in my clients.
Both NCurses and GTK should provide that I'm quite sure.

Identifying what is meant by a line by it's first 3 characters is
great, will make the parsing even simpler!

The ``` case will be a little bit more problematic as the parsing
process would need to know what was parsed a few lines before
(was a "tag" opened?).

Line by line parsing is preferable to allow simple implementations
to me, but that's not be a deal-breaker either.
