I don't think you can, it looks like they are handled completely
differently. Code in readmes looks like it is a <code> tag inside a <pre>
tag. Code with language specific highlights such as what they show on a file
in your project, looks like it is parsed and marked up for the css to
highlight, with tags around each highlight "type"

Anyway, it looks like this is the gem they use to process readmes
http://github.com/github/markup
You could look at the the gems it, farms out to, see if any of them offer
better support, possibly change your readme format to accommodate that (if
you find out, post how you did it).
