FWIW, I'm not sure the work necessary to maintain correctly marked-up
commentary is worth the gain.

But that aside, why not use a doc generator that first unlits the
\begin{code}...\end{code} style, and then treats the non-code sections
as markdown format? You'd need to either not use blockquotes, or provide
some way to escape the ">"s.


Thanks
