Is it a specification that backticks for codeblocks are not supported in inline Markdown?

[akisatoon1]

I am experiencing the same issue as reported in mermaid-js/mermaid issue#6201.

In a comment in related other issue#6099, it was mentioned:

I think in general, for both 10.x and 11.x, they do not support block level markdown, such as lists, blockquotes, etc. Only inline markdown, such as bold, italics, etc.

Regarding this, I have two questions:

• Are codeblocks, like `text`, considered block-level?

• Is the lack of support for certain Markdown elements a known specification?

I would appreciate it if you could clarify whether this behavior is by design or a current technical limitation.
