Wordpress Markdown Codeblock Attributes Patch
I like to write in Markdown format but I also like using a Syntax highlighter such as Google Syntax Highlighter. The two formats do not work well together.
This patch will modify the Wordpress Markdown Plugin to allow extra attributes with a fenced codeblock in order to work with Google Syntax Highlighter. For example:
~~~ name="code" class="php"
code goes here
~~~
This will result in <pre name="code" class="php"></pre>.
