Four space indented code cannot immediately succeed a numbered list in markdown [duplicate]

Code block is not properly formatted when placed immediately after a list item

The title says it all. Here is a reproduction:

1. An Item

2. A second item

   // Note that there are four lines of whitespace between the setence and this code public void main() { printf("Hello World!"); }

Now that same code under a regular paragraph:

public void main() {
    printf("Hello World!");
}

Answer 1

1. If you want the code to be indented, do it like this:

   // four more spaces
   public void main() {
     printf("Hello World!");
   }
   

2. If it's outside the list, then like that:

void foo() {
  bar();
}

Answer 2

You simply need extra more four spaces:

1. An Item

2. A second item

   // Note that there are four lines of whitespace between the setence and this code
   public void main() {
       printf("Hello World!");
   }
   

Not sure what's the reason, but it's been like that always.

Answer 3

That's not a bug. A 4-space intend after a numbered list is used to have multi-paragraph numbered items. For example:

1. My first item.

2. My second item.

   A bit more about my second item.

3. My third item.

You can always use explicit HTML-style markup to start a code block. Or you can put a comment between the last item and the code block.
