  • I've seen this problem when you try to post code in a list or just after a list (as you're doing).

  • Inside a list context, you need to indent code by eight spaces

      foo += bar

    and start subsequent lines with a space to keep them indented.

  • If you want to have a code block right after your bullet point indented as if it wasn't in the bullet list, use a comment <!-- -->.

foo -= bar

  • Thanks :) But isn't point 2 a workaround ? It still is a bug.

    I don't think it is. Since lines starting with one space are considered to be inside the list/bullet item. The four-space indent isn't enough for a code block inside the list, but it also is enough for the paragraph to be considered inside the list. You can't break that without something that's not indented at all, the parser can't tell the difference.
