Code after bulleted lists

Question

Duplicate: Why is a code block not properly formatted when placed immediately after a list item?

The formatting guide says that you should indent code 4 spaces. However in this answer this is not working correctly. The problem seems to be when code directly follows, but is not part of a bulleted list.

I have replicated the bug below. Inserting a character between the end of the bullet and the code will cause it to appear correctly. See the second section for an example.

This seems to occur in both the preview and the posting.

Answer 1

In a list, you need to indent the code by 8 spaces rather than 4.

After a list, if you really don't want to have text before some more code, you can use something like   to fake it:

• List item

  Code within item
  

• Next item

 

Code after the list

In general though, I'd suggest including some text to introduce the code after the list anyway, which works round the problem.
