Syntax highlighting can be used by wrapping your code in a liquid tag like so:

{{ "{% highlight javascript " }}%}
/* Some pointless Javascript */ var rawr = ["r", "a", "w", "r"]; {{ "{% endhighlight " }}%}

creates...

{% highlight javascript %}

/* Some pointless Javascript */ var rawr = ["r", "a", "w", "r"];

{% endhighlight %}

Use two trailing spaces
on the right
to create linebreak tags

Finally, horizontal lines
