Answer 1

Geshi supports SAS. I think it does a pretty nice job. It is the highlighter in Wikimedia and is also available as a Perl module.

It shouldn't be too hard (famous last words :)) to connect Geshi to Markdown. You could obtain the plots by running a console SAS job. However, I think that as of 2012 (SAS 9.3), you would have to automate the workflow yourself. When one of the markup languages becomes dominant you will probably see more formal support.
