### Include Highlighted Code

Use file inclusion to include text as highlighted code.

#### File to Be Included

Here's a file containing Ruby code to be included:

```hello.rb```:
```markdown
class HelloWorld
   def initialize(name)
      @name = name.capitalize
   end
   def sayHi
      puts "Hello !"
   end
end
```

#### Includer File

Here's a template file that includes it:

```includer.md```:
```markdown
This file includes the code as highlighted code.

@[ruby](hello.rb)
```

The treatment token ```ruby``` specifies that the included text is to be highlighted as Ruby code.

The treatment token can be any Ace mode mentioned in [GitHub Languages](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/languages.yml).  The file lists about 100 Ace modes, covering just about every language and format.
