JavaScript string literals are not supported in code blocks

Any issue will be ignored if you don't provide the following detailed information.

Describe the bug If you create a code block with js string literals the '`'s are not properly formatted in the output. JS literals: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals

Example code block:

console.log(`1 and 1 make 2`);

Output code block: console.log(1 and 1 make 2);

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a new post
2. create a new javascript code block
3. enter the line: console.log(1 and 1 make 2);
4. publish

I have syntax highlighting by Prism.js enabled using coy theme. I have tried turning on/off various other settings and the bug still happens.

Expected behavior

Ideally literal strings would be correctly formatted including special formatting for expressions in the strings (See functionality listed here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals)

At minimum literal strings should be treated like regular strings.
