I would like it to parse standard markdown as parsed in github. I don't like the special syntax of {% highlight java %}.

I understand it can parse textile and markdown but I don't get how to change the format of a single blog post to use this syntax with his incompatible with some other systems:

```java
some java code

I've noticed that it kind of works, but its syntax highlighting is not as beautiful as with {% highlight java %}. I wish it to be the same.
