Proper way to support better markdown

[slapp]

My potential users are going to be posting in many different languages, c#, C++, java, HTML, XML, SQL etc. The /[CODE] tag doesn't really provide the syntax highlighting that I am looking for in a forum. What is the proper way to get better markdown support? I searched through the .org, this site, the web in general.

You have two options in vBulletin.

Code tags and php tags. The latter may do what you want.

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

Indeed...not tried those on program code, may well do what the OP wants.
