Following YAML snippet that I'm trying to place in my markdown formatted readme:

``` 
libraries:  
- name: numpy     
version: "1.6.1"   
```

Tried the above with both no and 2 trailing spaces at the end of each line. Both turn out on a single line. Obviously I want them on 3 separate lines in my README.md.

How?

edit: note tried adding 'yaml' as the optional lang parameter but no dice either.
