<p>Double asterisks in a code block indented by four spaces should be ignore, but that's not exactly the case. Play with spaces and single/double asterisks in the code block below and note the highlighting of the headings:</p>
<pre><code>    code with *asterisks **
    
# test *a* b

# Testing `pnpm recursive install` behavior.
</code></pre>
