Tags: patch

People use markdown blocks on e.g. Reddit, StackOverflow, etc.
and maybe this is the reason why such blocks are used in bug reports.
But without proper highlighting such bug reports as bug#50752
are unreadable.  This patch adds support for highlighting
of such blocks:

```patch
diff --git a/lisp/gnus/mm-uu.el b/lisp/gnus/mm-uu.el
index 494221adee..b6acd2e32a 100644
