+/// A raw block, rendered in monospace with optional syntax highlighting.
+///
+/// Raw blocks start with an arbitrary number of backticks and end with the same
+/// number of backticks. If you want to include a sequence of backticks in a raw
+/// block, simply surround the block with more backticks.
+///
+/// When using at least two backticks, an optional language tag may follow
+/// directly after the backticks. This tag defines which language to
+/// syntax-highlight the text in. Apart from the language tag and some
+/// whitespace trimming discussed below, everything inside a raw block is
+/// rendered verbatim, in particular, there are no escape sequences.
+///
+/// # Examples
+/// - Raw text is surrounded by backticks.
+/// ```typst
+/// `raw`
+/// ```
+/// - An optional language tag may follow directly at the start when the block
+/// is surrounded by at least two backticks.
+/// ```typst
+/// ``rust println!("hello!")``;
+/// ```
+/// - Blocks can span multiple lines. Two backticks suffice to be able to
+/// specify the language tag, but three are fine, too.
+/// ```typst
+/// ``rust
+/// loop {
+/// find_yak().shave();
+/// }
+/// ``
+/// ```
+/// - Start with a space to omit the language tag (the space will be trimmed
+/// from the output) and use more backticks to allow backticks in the raw
+/// text.
+/// `````typst
+/// ```` This contains ```backticks``` and has no leading & trailing spaces. ````
+/// `````
+///
+/// # Trimming
+/// If we would always render the raw text between the backticks exactly as
+/// given, a few things would become problematic or even impossible:
+/// - Typical multiline code blocks (like in the example above) would have an
+/// additional newline before and after the code.
+/// - Raw text wrapped in more than one backtick could not exist without
+/// leading whitespace since the first word would be interpreted as a
+/// language tag.
+/// - A single backtick without surrounding spaces could not exist as raw text
+/// since it would be interpreted as belonging to the opening or closing
+/// backticks.
+///
+/// To fix these problems, we trim text in multi-backtick blocks as follows:
+/// - We trim a single space or a sequence of whitespace followed by a newline
+/// at the start.
+/// - We trim a single space or a newline followed by a sequence of whitespace
+/// at the end.
+///
+/// With these rules, a single raw backtick can be produced by the sequence
+/// ``` `` ` `` ```, ``` `` unhighlighted text `` ``` has no surrounding
+/// spaces and multiline code blocks don't have extra empty lines. Note that
+/// you can always force leading or trailing whitespace simply by adding more
+/// spaces.
