Code Examples in Markdown

Syntax highlighting with GFM

```javascript
function fancyAlert(arg) {
  if(arg) {
    $.facebox({div:'#foo'})
  }
}
```

Or, indent your code 4 spaces

Here is a Python code example
without syntax highlighting:

    def foo:
      if not bar:
        return true

Inline code for comments

I think you should use an
`<addr>` element here instead.
