Dr. Jekyll uses Rouge for syntax highlighting in code blocks and inline code. Include the language after the opening backticks to enable syntax highlighting:

```ruby
def hello_world
  puts "Hello, world!"
end
```

This will render as:

def hello_world
  puts "Hello, world!"
end

You can also use liquid for syntax highlighting in Jekyll templates:


{% highlight liquid %}
  {% assign name = "Dr. Jekyll" %}
  Hello, {{ name }}!
{% endhighlight %}

This will render as:


{% assign name = "Dr. Jekyll" %}
Hello, {{ name }}!
