GitHub's Markdown API can be used to apply syntax highlighting to code blocks by wrapping code in fenced markdown blocks and posting to the API endpoint. The approach returns HTML with GitHub's syntax highlighting applied, avoiding the overhead of creating and embedding Gists. A ColdFusion implementation demonstrates reading code, wrapping it in dynamically-sized fences to avoid conflicts with nested code blocks, posting to the API, and rendering the highlighted output. The solution is resilient to unknown languages and can be used as an author-time dependency by embedding the output directly in persisted content.
