This question already has an answer here:

when trying to create a list and including a code-block in one of the points, either you can't properly format the codeblock as such, or you reset the numbered list counter.

imagine following scenario:

  1. Some explanation or reasoning
    adding a language declaration to make the codeblock render
here comes the codeblock
  1. Second point in chain of reasoning

Code within lists needs additional indentation (8-spaces):

  1. Some explanation or reasoning
    adding a language declaration to make the codeblock render

    here comes the codeblock

  2. Second point in chain of reasoning

Markdown:
