title: Markdown: Syntax highlighting for code in text
body: <p>I understand that one can introduce synatx highlighting in GitHub flavored markdown for code <em>blocks</em>, so something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>```python
  some python code
  ```
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>would be highlighted. Is something like this also possible for code fragments <em>in the text</em>, e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>usual text `some python code` text again
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>?<br>
  Additional question: Which common markdown flavors allow something like this, which don't?</p>
