How do I add Markdown formatting in a code / pre block?

This may seem to defeat the purpose of a code block, but I'd like to be able to bold something within a code block. For example, if I wanted to bold the return line:

int main(void) {
    **return 0;**
}

This syntax should solve your problem :

    ```
    int main(void) {
       **return 0;**
    }
    ```

Just type three backticks in the beginning of the code block and its should work.

You would have to do this in HTML, by design.

However, inside Markdown code spans and blocks, angle brackets and ampersands are always encoded automatically.

<pre>
int main(void) {
    <b>return 0;</b>
}
</pre>
