  • no It's not. The other was about putting code into a list. This is about putting code after a list. The solution there was to put 8 spaces instead of 4 spaces before the code. 8 spaces make the code be part of the list.

Yes, if you absolutely, positively must have code RIGHT AFTER a bulleted list, then you need something between the two elements to seperate them. You can use an HTML comment or other non-printable element (say, a  ), like so.

  • item1
  • item2
 this is code

  • Still, why is it not simply possible to provide the functionality of having code format directly after the list item (and not as a part of the list, but starting on the far left) then, without such a workaround here? Is this not a feature-request or bug that is yet to be handled on meta?
