It was thus said that the Great A. E. Spencer-Reed once stated:

When parsing closing lines with extra text after the "```", should

they just be treated as part of the block? ex. should

```Alt Text

1

```2

3

```

4

look like

+------------------------------+

| 1 |

| ```2 |

| 3 |

+------------------------------+

4

or

+------------------------------+

| 1 |

+------------------------------+

3

+------------------------------+

| 4 |

+------------------------------+

The second example. From the spec(gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.gmi):

Any text following the leading "`" of a preformat toggle line which toggles preformatted mode off MUST be ignored by clients.
