To enable syntax highlighting in the code blocks, define and call the following function.

function! GFM()
  let syntaxes = {
  \ 'ruby':   'syntax/ruby.vim',
  \ 'yaml':   'syntax/yaml.vim',
  \ 'vim':    'syntax/vim.vim',
  \ 'c':      'syntax/c.vim'
  \ }

  for [lang, syn] in items(syntaxes)
    unlet b:current_syntax
    silent! exec printf("syntax include @%s %s", lang, syn)
    exec printf("syntax region %sSnip matchgroup=Snip start='```%s' end='```' contains=@%s",
                \ lang, lang, lang)
  endfor
  let b:current_syntax='mkd'
endfunction
