This is just an ipsis verbis copy of the first example running on the Ghost Demo. This shows how you can use html styling to achieve your hopes.

Below is just about everything you’ll need to style in the theme. Check the source code to see the many embedded elements within paragraphs.

Preformatted Text

Typographically, preformatted text is not the same thing as code. Sometimes, a faithful execution of the text requires preformatted text that may not have anything to do with code. Most browsers use Courier and that’s a good default — with one slight adjustment, Courier 10 Pitch over regular Courier for Linux users.

Code

Code can be presented inline, like <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>, or within a <pre> block. Because we have more specific typographic needs for code, we’ll specify Consolas and Monaco ahead of the browser-defined monospace font.

Code blocks can also be inserted with the highlight tag as below:

    
    {% highlight language-x %}
    # some code
    {% endhighlight %}
    

More information about code highlighting in jekyll can be found in Jekyll documentation.

These area a couple of examples showing the resulting highlighted code:

/* css code sample */
#container {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
    width: 100%;
}

// javascript code sample
$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: 'backend.php',
  data: "q="+myform.serialize(),
  success: function(data){
    // on success use return data here
  },
  error: function(xhr, type, exception) {
    // if ajax fails display error alert
    alert("ajax error response type "+type);
  }
});

Now you can also use highlight.js. For more on how to use it and on the available styles check their demo and documentation pages.

// Swift code sample
import Foundation

@objc class Person: Entity {
  var name: String!
  var age:  Int!

  init(name: String, age: Int) {
    /* /* ... */ */
  }

  // Return a descriptive string for this person
  func description(offset: Int = 0) -> String {
    return "\(name) is \(age + offset) years old"
  }
}

Blockquotes

Let’s keep it simple. Italics are good to help set it off from the body text. Be sure to style the citation.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it I can sing it for you. — HAL 9000

var c = new Sketch.create({autoclear: false}),

  c.fillRect(0,0,c.width,c.height);
}

Isn't it beautiful?
