By "was a tag opened?", do you just mean "am I currently inside oroutside a pair of ```s?".  I have found this very easy to track, youjust need a single boolean variable, initialised to False at the startof the document.  Every time you see a ``` line you flip it's value.When processing all other line types, the first thing you do is checkwhether that value's true.
