The code block is not properly closed. There are extra blank lines (94-96) and an incorrect closing syntax. The closing should be three backticks on line 94 without the "md" tag. Line 97 incorrectly starts with ```md which appears to be a malformed attempt to start a new section.

Suggested change
```md
