R chunk within markdown extension

I am trying to write a markdown document where I have a chunk of R code within a theorem or example extension.

I assumed I could simply write the theorem extension, starting and ending with ``` and within define an R code chunk starting with ```{r} and ending with ```. As follows:

```{theorem, name="Test"}

Some initial text.


```{r}
a <- 1 + 1
print(a)

And some more text.

However, it seems markdown gets confused, as does stackoverflow, by closing the theorem chunk using the end of the R code block instead of nesting the blocks. Any ideas on how to solve this?

You can't nest chunks like that in r-markdown. You'll need to close your first chunk then open a new one for the R chunk.
