Take a look at Webby

http://webby.rubyforge.org

It's a not an online service, but it will handle Markdown and do  
syntax highlighting. Webby generates HTML files that you can sync up  
to your webserver.

Bruce WIlliams is using it for his site, http://www.codefluency.com.  
It does pagination, ATOM / RSS feeds, markup, syntax highlighting, etc.
