If I remember correctly, Kramdown only supports syntax highlighters, which
can't do Scala highlighting. Maybe this has changed or there is a
highlighter, which works with Scala.

Possible solutions:
- We could add a markdownify plugin, which introduces explicit markdown
tags. Those you could use within an HTML block.
- Anyways I think it would be better to have a custom Jekyll plugin for
this multi-language code snippets instead of hand-writing the HTML.
