Comment (by Otto42):

 The backtick mechanism is not part of markdown, it's one of our specific
 addons. We use it in lots of places, including our forums.

 If you want to use hashes in your code blocks, use the normal markdown way
 of creating them: prefix them with four spaces on each line.

 #this won't work

     #this will work
