With the `backtick_codeblock` filter you can use Github's lovely back tick syntax highlighting blocks.
Simply start a line with three back ticks followed by a space and the language you're using. Tab in four spaces
for your code snippets, and then finish your code block with three more back ticks.
#### Syntax
``` language
code snippet
```
### Example
``` ruby
class Fixnum
def prime?
('1' * self) !~ /^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$/
end
end
```
``` ruby
class Fixnum
def prime?
('1' * self) !~ /^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$/
end
end
```
This is a nice, lightweight way to add a highlighted code snippet. For features like titles and links you'll want to look
at the `codeblock` or `include_code` liquid tags.
