[Framers] How to format source code in FM

HI All, I have a document in Markdown (md) that I was asked to convert to FM.  I can do it quickly using wildcards,regexs and scripts.
All is fine and good, except when I get to source code. The source code is formatted extremely nicely and clearly (with different colors for commands, comments, etc and also with code line numbers) in the MD file. I can't come close to it in FM without using a fair share of different, newly created para and char tags, etc.This is extremely frustrating because I can take the text and simply plunk it into Notepad++ and it gets formatted properly depending on the language I choose. Perhaps there is a secret setting somewhere in FM, that FM can read this code and understand how to format it? and save me loads of time. 
I prefer not creating a JPG or BMP of the code - because then the info won't be searchable in the PDF. Many Thanks for any ideas :)Happy New Year!Orly Zimmerman
