2. ordered

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
