Not sure if this is a bug, rather a feature request. The parser supports escape characters but you need to escape each character. ex:

@nmetulev Normally, the below method is the way to escape the code block but this is not working in MarkdownParser. So this is a bug.

I believe that is how GitHub does it, but not all markdown renderers are the same. I agree it would be great to support this as well, but not parsing exactly like GitHub does not automatically categorize this as a bug. For example, looking through the commonmark spec I don't see this as listed.
