:javas­cript
Surrounds the filtered text with <sc­rip­t> and CDATA tags. Useful for including inline Javasc­ript.
:css
Surrounds the filtered text with <st­yle> and CDATA tags. Useful for including inline CSS.
:sass
Parses the filtered text with Sass to produce CSS output.
:textile
Parses the filtered text with Textile.
:makuru
Parses the filtered text with Maruku, which has some non-st­andard extensions to Markdown.
