Code Blocks and Code Spans in PDF to Markdown

See more PDF Text Extraction Examples

Demonstrates how monospaced text is converted by the "markdown" operation: a monospaced block becomes a fenced code block and a monospaced run inside a sentence becomes a code span. Set "code" to false to treat it as ordinary text. Unicode C++
