Originally created by @deanebarker on GitHub (Jun 19, 2019).

For a variety of pre-processing reasons, some of my lines of markdown end up with leading spaces. MarkDig interprets this as a code block, which I really don't want. I'd like it to be ignored.

Is there any way to shut off this specific rule? I don't really have any code blocks in this particular body of content, and if I did, I could fence it with other blocks.

Indented code blocks are handeled by the IndentedCodeBlockParser. Simply remove it from the pipeline.

var builder = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
    .UseAdvancedExtensions();

builder.BlockParsers.TryRemove<IndentedCodeBlockParser>();

var pipeline = builder.Build();

string html = Markdown.ToHtml(markdown, pipeline);

Wonderful, thank you.

For some reason, my version of Markdig didn't have TryRemove. I did this instead.

var indentedCodeBlock = builder.BlockParsers.FirstOrDefault(p => p.GetType() == typeof(IndentedCodeBlockParser));
builder.BlockParsers.Remove(indentedCodeBlock);

Thanks! I was just in looking for this. Might not be a bad idea to add this to the MarkdigExtensions to disable these.
