Unfortunately, specifying an unknown language doesn't work either. E.g.:

```{.code}
abracadabra abracadabra
abracadabra abracadabra
abracadabra abracadabra
```

Outputs something like:

<pre class="code"><code>...</code></pre>

Without newlines. However, if I change `code` to e.g. `haskell`, the output
would be:

<div class="sourceCode">
<pre class="sourceCode haskell">
<code class="sourceCode haskell">...</code>
</pre>
</div>

This includes newlines.
