Mark a specific line in markdowns

I am new to markdown, and I am wondering if it is possible to highlight a specific line of a block of source code, as described on this page.

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Edit: To be more clear, with the wordpress plugin you can write something like this:

[code highlight="2,3"]
This line won't be highlighted.
This line will be highlighted.
This line will be highlighted.
This line won't be highlighted.
[/code]

But obviously this is not markdown syntax.

In SO, langauge highlighting is possible, as described in Advanced Help , but not formatting inside code blocks.

This is a code block
Markdown is **not** processed

You can imitate what you want using a quote:
