 An object where each value has a `start` and `end` to specify fenced code blocks that should be ignored during parsing and inlining. For example, Handlebars (hbs) templates are `HBS: {start: '{{', end: '}}'}`. `codeBlocks` can fix problems where otherwise inline-css might interpret code like `<=` as HTML, when it is meant to be template language code. Note that `codeBlocks` is a dictionary which can contain many different code blocks, so don't do `codeBlocks: {...}` do `codeBlocks.myBlock = {...}`.
