List entry followed by code block messes up the code section [duplicate]

Question

Here's two examples (note that in first example, backticks also had no effect, for some reason):

• include/db.php:

  $attribs = array( PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => $config['db']['persistent'], PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => $config['db']['errormode'] ); $db = new PDO( $config['db']['uri'], $config['db']['user'], $config['db']['pass'], $attribs ); $db->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); $db->query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'"); } catch (PDOException $e) { print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "
  "; die(); } function dbGetEngine() { global $config; return substr($config['db']['uri'], 0, strpos($config['db']['uri'], ':')); } ?>

• include/config.php:

It gets worse, try adding space prior to the asterisk :/

Just removing the asterisk fixes stuff up. Thing is, I believe it looks nicer with the asterisk ... and it's definitely a bug :-)

If you want to embed code in a list, you'll need to precede it with 8 spaces instead of the usual 4:

• include/db.php:

  try {
  
          $attribs =  
                  array(
                          PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => $config['db']['persistent'],
                          PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => $config['db']['errormode']
                  );
  
  
          $db = new PDO(
                  $config['db']['uri'],
                  $config['db']['user'],
                  $config['db']['pass'],
                  $attribs
          );
          $db->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
          $db->query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'");
  
  } catch (PDOException $e) {
          print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br/>";
          die();
  }
  
  function dbGetEngine() {
          global $config;
          return substr($config['db']['uri'], 0, strpos($config['db']['uri'], ':'));
  }
  ?>
  

• include/config.php:

  //$config['db']['uri'] = 'sqlite:' . realpath('.') . '/site.db'; // PDO's database access URI
  $config['db']['uri'] = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sitedb'; // server should be : 195.78.32.7
  //$config['db']['uri'] = 'pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=sitedb';
  $config['db']['user'] = 'user_goes_here'; // database username
  $config['db']['pass'] = 'pass_goes_here'; // database password
  $config['db']['persistent'] = false; // should the connection be persistent
  $config['db']['errormode'] = PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION; // PDO's error mode
  
  ?>
