Indented code blocks (parsed with fence = None) were serialised by Markdown.ToMd as bare text without any code block markers. When the output was re-parsed, the content was interpreted as a Paragraph, not a CodeBlock — breaking the round-trip. Fix: use triple-backtick fences for code blocks that originally had no fence, ensuring the serialised form is always a valid fenced code block. Fenced code blocks round-trip correctly and render identically to indented code blocks in all Markdown renderers. Added a round-trip test to cover the case.

Root Cause
Markdown.ToMdserialisedCodeBlocknodes withfence = None(indented code blocks) as bare text:…was serialised as just
"let x = 1\nlet y = 2\n". When re-parsed, this is aParagraph, not aCodeBlock— breaking the round-trip.Fix
Use triple-backtick fences for all code blocks, falling back to
```when the original had no fence:This produces a valid fenced code block for both fenced and formerly-indented inputs. Fenced code blocks render identically to indented code blocks in all standard Markdown renderers.
