Notebook Mode: The comment block is not recognized as a Markdown block

See original GitHub issue

Well, can I post any feedback on the Notebook mode that Tyler Leonhardt has posted on the PowerShell blog? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/public-preview-of-notebook-mode-in-the-powershell-preview-extension-for-visual-studio-code/

Issue Description

The comment block style that our team normally uses doesn’t seem to be correctly parsed as a Markdown block in the Nodebook mode.

<# =========================
# Write comment here

I hope this is improved.

Is this an issue specific to my environment?

It’s a general bug that we’ll fix in the next update. For now cells must start with the line <# and end with the line #>

The code indicates that we expect the whole line to be the comment delimiter, rather than just contain it:
