Code highlighting detecting this markdown as applescript

[dkisselev]

The PHP markdown library that daux is using allows you to "fence" code blocks, and to apply a class to those blocks.

http://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#fenced-code-blocks (near the bottom)

See if you can add a markdown class to a block and if highlight.js will grab it?

Also, fencing might not work in daux because it's using an older version of php markdown.

Edit:
Looks like the appropriate way to fence in the current version of markdown used by daux is with ` characters.

So to force-set a language, you could try this (i haven't had a chance to test it myself though):

```html

<?php <figure>Even though the auto-detect should see this as PHP, because we're overriding, the highlighting should only affect the HTML.</figure> ?>

```

I shall try this out!

That did the trick! Thanks.

(On a side note, it looks like the free version of MarkdownPad 2, which I am using to compile the docs, does not include fenced code, so you see the ``` in your preview window)

Yeah, I think the ``` fence is compiler-specific.

You might be able to tweak the highlighting rules to add the ``` fences? I use Sublime Text and the plugins are open-source so you can add highlighting rules as needed.
