How can I disable syntax highlighting in Gogs for an (intented) code block in the README.md? The problem is that the commands described in the readme are self-defined but contain keywords of other programming languages, therefore the code is highlighted in an odd manner.

According to Markdown Syntax cheatsheet I tried:

:::python my_function(param1, param2)

but it does not make any change. I think it is ignored by Gogs. As well the notation

~~~python my_function(param1, param2) ~~~

did not make any change. Can't syntax highlighting be disabled in Gogs Markdown?

It's possible to indicate the block is just a simple text by marking it as "text", as shown, below:

```text
this is a simple text
```

(three backticks work the same as three tildes)

Gogs uses blackfriday for rendering the markdown, although it's not documented the "text" option there, their documentation might be the best place to check the implemented features of the markdown on Gogs.
