Okay, great!

By "was a tag opened?", do you just mean "am I currently inside or
outside a pair of ```s?".  I have found this very easy to track, you
just need a single boolean variable, initialised to False at the start
of the document.  Every time you see a ``` line you flip it's value.
When processing all other line types, the first thing you do is check
whether that value's true.
