Problem
The Part 9 README contained a sample markdown code block that was ending prematurely due to improper nesting. The section "Create Package README" showed a sample
PACKAGE_README.mdfile within a markdown code block, but this outer block contained nested code blocks (bash, json, text) that caused the parser to close the outer block too early.This resulted in:
\``` delimiter (around line 196)\``textfollowed by````)Solution
Changed the outer markdown code block to use 4 backticks instead of 3. This is the standard solution for nesting code blocks in markdown - the outer fence must have more backticks than any inner fence.
Changes:
\``markdown→````markdown`\````Result
The sample README now renders correctly with all nested code examples (bash, json, text) properly displayed within the outer markdown block, and subsequent documentation sections appear in their correct context.
Fixes #25
