thanks, very helpful.
The Rmd text editor in RStudio does not handle this new ````{verbatim} option very well- it works (eg the html output is perfect), but the document formatting is messed up; the inline code highlighting (eg mine in dark mode uses white to indicate text, yellow for code) and the Rmd outline pane is messed up (would add a screenshot but cannot here).
