Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/331

When code fences are using backticks or other explicit styles, I think Markdownlint should add a warning when the block isn't closed.
I believe this would fit in the existing MD046/MD048, maybe by counting the opening vs closing blocks, but I can see this might not be straightforward to implement

Saw this was being picked up by the MicrosoftDocs build tooling and thought it would be good here too.

Here are some PRs where this is being fixed in an existing document https://github.com/dotnet/docs/pull/20716

Came to post a new issue around single backtick sections, but I think it might fall under this too.

In the spec it flags that some don't continue
https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#blocks-and-inlines

EX:

- `one
- two`

Here is another one on their code playground https://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/?text=Somethign%20%60foo%0Aleads%20to%20bar%60%0A%0ASomethign%20%60foo%0A%0Aleads%20to%20bar%60

A backtick continuing to the next line is ok, but not if there is a hard break before the next

Also some examples of the unbalanced cases https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#example-347
