  Note: This happens both in the WMD preview and in the final (server rendered) post.

Answer 1

Inside a bullet list

To place a code block inside a list item, use eight spaces to format the code.

- item 1

        code

- item 2

Result:

• item 1

  code
  

• item 2

After a bullet list

To place a code block after a bullet list, add an empty comment between them.

- item 1
- item 2

<!-- -->

    code

Result:

• item 1
• item 2

code

Since Markdown doesn't have a way to explicitly end a list, there has to be something to make it start a new section of formatting.
