Landon Curt Noll 3ddbac9e6b improve how markdown code language is commented

We added a space between the markdown triple code mark
and language that was enclosed in HTML comments.

So a line of the form:

````
```<!---c--->
````

became:

````
``` <!---c--->
````

This was done to **help** some code see that the HTML comment
string was not a markdown code specifier.   Not all code
understands this after this changed.  For example, `pandoc(1)`
still forms HTML classes of the form "&lt;!---c--&gt;"
when it encounters the above mentioned change.

We also fixed a problem with `2019/dogon/README.md` regarding
a markdown code block.

We also fixed a problem with `2020/yang/README.md` regarding
a markdown code block.

Bugs and (Mis)features:

The current status of this entry is:

    STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix

For more detailed information see 1988 dale bugs.

Try:

    ./try.sh

Observe that three of the commands in the script are:

    ./dale these files are in this directory: *
    ./dale $(printf "the following files exist in this directory:\n%s\n" *)
    ./dale "$(printf "the following files exist in this directory:\n%s\n" *)"

As the script asks what do the last two do and why do they do it? Why do they differ in format from the first command? Finally how can you get the more likely desired behaviour?

Judges' remarks:

This entry has a very twisted flow of control via recursion, iteration and multi-processing. Try to understand what is being done with the system calls.

NOTE: This program assumes the ASCII character set is being used.
