Damn simple [markdown]#via shortcode[/markdown] for wordpress. This plugin uses parsedown and highlight.js. Zero configuration.
Write this into the editor:
[markdown]
#h1
h2
text
____source code (two ore more underscores will be replaced by empty spaces)
____source code (two ore more underscores will be replaced by empty spaces)
`javascript

and the shortcode content will be parsed with parsedown. Syntax highlighting will appear for the source codes.
