This is a little class I use to read in an external code
file, then wrap that code with the markdown code blocks.
Look in `render_with_code` to see how it is implemented:
1. Creates a `lodash` template that has a variable named `ork`.
2. When `render_with_code` runs it then first runs your `.md` file through this template.
3. That template can then call functions on `Ork`, as in: `{{ ork.js() }}`.
4. `Ork` then returns whatever Markdown code format is needed for the output.
