I think Eric brings up an interesting point. That is even a
shortcomming of indented code blocks, you have to either add or remove
the extra whitespace when copying or pasting the code to or from a
markdown document. Whereas, an un-indented codeblock is easily copied
and pasted with no altercations to the code. I know there have been
times when I have gotten confused when my code contains mutiple layers
of indentation. ("Did I already indent/un-indent this line?") That
said, the indented code blocks have been used for some time now
without much problem. Just an interesting observation really.
