Is it possible to preserve the language for fenced code blocks so the show notes would have syntax highlighting

```python

import time
print(time.now())

This is a nice feature, however it is implemented (or was last time I looked) by lots of <span> and <div> tags. When the show arrives on the Internet Archive (IA) these are all stripped out.

In short, I disabled this feature because at the time the IA stripped all but the most basic HTML. I'd be happy to review it; the IA code is changed silently over time, so this might no longer be the case.
