Code snippet formatting don't work after bulleted list formatted line [duplicate]

Question

I have problem when answering or asking questions on StackOverflow

Suppose I have two possible code snippets and I want to ask which is better.

Here is code 1:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// my code here
    }

and here is code 2:

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // my code here     
    }

You may notice that I can put the code in code snippet block But this is not possible if I add Bulleted list just before this code snippet, Like this:

• Here is code 1

  @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // my code here }

• Here is code 2

  @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // my code here
  }

Now, no matter what I try I cannot format my code in code snippet form, even without the short cut ctrl + k.

You can even check and try to edit this question attempting to put the code in code snippet.

Moreover if I have say 30 line of code, the ctrl + K destroys the formatting of code instead of putting in code snippet.

It literally means that if have bulleted list as your first statement in your question/answer you cannot add code snippet.

So,

• Is this a known bug?
• Is there any alternative to put code in code snippet. If yes, then how?

Answer 1

Try:

• This is the first bullet

  Then your code here
  

• Then your second list item

  Then more code here
  

You need to indent by eight spaces, not four, to get code blocks inside bulleted lists.
