Sorry to bug you, but this comes up first in Goggle...

In MarkdownPad 2.5 it is supported natively (only in Pro version, though)

1. Open Options.
2. Select Markdown -> GitHub Falvored Markdown (must use on-line version).
3. Save options.

Then you can just use fenced block with language name as you usually use on Github. E.g.

```python
from helper import Helper
# init helper
helper = Helper()
```

Is rendered as

from helper import Helper
# init helper
helper = Helper()

Seem to work both in preview window and after exporting to HTML. Although preview is on-line, exported HTML is off-line (i.e. CSS is included in-line in the HTML).
