Try indenting with four spaces (i.e. a normal markdown code block) rather than using a fenced code block. This worked for me in GitLab. In GitHub just ``` worked.

Question
The title pretty much says it all: I'd like to write a paragraph in monospaced
font using GFM, but without any programming language's syntax highlighting. I'd think it would be
```txt
or
```text
or maybe nothing:
```
But no luck. Is this even possible with GFM?
