Syntax highlighting support?

[utkumaden]

Although the text processor seems to attach a language-xxx class to markdown code blocks, it seems there is no support for rendering code blocks with syntax highlighting. Would it be possible to introduce this feature and maybe make it somehow configurable, perhaps with a few example grammars included in the repository?

I took a brief look at the code, an perhaps a callback function that can modify what is being output would suffice.

Edit: I realize the end code block function is protected, which will work for me for the time, but it would be pretty good to have this be built into the library by default.
