You can define markdown code fences as you would normally or use a code helper within slim/HAML. These code fences / code helper function supports all the languages defined in rouge. There is also additional support added to support a language called 'Studio' which is essentially the same as 'shell' but has been updated to have additional keywords and support for Habitat Studio related functionality (found in lib/lexer_habitat_studio.rb.

Markdown

Define a code fence with a language.

```shell
$ cd ~/sample-rails-app
```

Define a code fence for a language with the addition of a title.

```shell ~/sample-rails-app
$ hab studio enter
```

Define a code fence for a language with additional metadata

```lang title:"~/sample-rails-app/docker-compose.yml" linenos:true start:7 mark:8
[code]
```

The additional metadata that can be specified:

Metadata Example Description
