Answer 1

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but Maruku is just a Markdown interpreter.

To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab. For example, given this input:

This is a normal paragraph:

    This is a code block.

Markdown will generate:

<p>This is a normal paragraph:</p>

<pre><code>This is a code block.
</code></pre>

Answer 2

I add this answer because I ended up here searching for a solution to code blocks with Maruku using Jekyll. For anyone else in the same boat, use the Liquid tags for code blocks instead of the Markdown syntax:

{% highlight java %}  
System.out.println("Hello, Maruku.");  
{% endhighlight %}
