Does Markdown have a mechanism for attaching figure, listing, etc. numbers to blocks of content?

Question

For example, if I want to refer to a block of code as "Listing 1" in an article, is there a way to render "Listing 1" at the end of that block of code?

E.g:

public class Foo {
}

                                   Listing 1

Answer 1

With backtick_codeblock you can put the Listing at the top.
This is the syntax.

``` [language] [title] [url] [link text]
code snippet
```
