 [Socket.io] for the Ruby Kids. A plugin for [Cramp](http://cramp.in/). Socket.io is a library that makes writing cross-borwser websockets super easy and resilient.

 By default, Cramp uses HttpRouter in config/routes.rb to manage connections. SocketIo has a handy helper for that:
 
-    # config/routes.rb
-    
-    require 'socket.io'
-    require 'http_router'
-    
-    HttpRouter.new do
-      SocketIo.routes self, AkbarAction
-    end
+```ruby
+# config/routes.rb
+
+require 'socket.io'
+require 'http_router'
+
+HttpRouter.new do
+  SocketIo.routes self, AkbarAction
+end
+```
 
 Optionally, SocketIo.routes can take a path. The default is `/socket.io`.
