I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.
Expected Behavior
When sending a piece of text immediately followed by a block of code starting with "---", everything should be well formatted :
PS : this is applicable for, for example, YAML block of code, where "---" is widely used as the 1st line (cf. StackOverflow, RedHat)
Actual Behavior
When sending a piece of text immediately followed by a block of code starting with "---", the ``` is ignored and the text above it is transformed into a title.
The ``` used for ending the block of code are therefor used as the start of the block of code
Steps to Reproduce
Open a new chat or edit an already existing prompt
Copy or manually write the following bloc code (if you manually type it, be wary of the "---" as they are automatically merged into "—-") :
test
```
---
```

Using triple backticks to create a code block requires a new line between the previous content.

This is caused by malformed markdown.

That seem strange, i know there are many Markdown flavors out there, but i don't remember any of them needing a new line before a block of code ?
For example, the following example do not need a new line :
- Example 140 of the [CommonMark specification](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#fenced-code-blocks)
- [Example 110 of the GitHub Flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/#example-110)
And those do not specify the need of a new line (so i believe it's not mandatory, or else it would've been specified) :
- [Github Documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#quoting-code)
- [GitLab Flavored Markdown](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/markdown/#code-spans-and-blocks)
- 1st result of [Google](https://www.google.com/search?q=markdown%20documentation) while searching for [Markdown Documentation](https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#fenced-code-blocks)
What flavor is used here ?
