Example
When adding indented code blocks inside a list you first need a blank line, then to indent the code further. Different flavours of Markdown have different rules for this.
-
StackExchange requires code to be indented by 8 characters instead of the usual 4. (Spaces replaced with
*for clarity):1.*Listitem1 2.*Listitem2 ********code here 3.*Listitem3 -
Specs such as CommonMark require that the code block be indented 4 characters from where the list item text starts. (Spaces replaced with
*for clarity):1.****Listitem1 2.****Listitem2 **********code here 3.****Listitem3
