[Fixed it][1] for you. And no, this is *not* a bug, but how Markdown works. The key thing is to indent one level further *and* use a 4-space indent, so make it 8 spaces to indent. No need to use incrementing numbers. Use `1.` for every list item. Also no need for `<code>` or `<pre>` blocks - we don't have that in Markdown. So, an example: ------- 1. item text. some text below the item but under the same item. 1. next item increments numbers automatically. 1. Here's some code: Code block line 1 Code block line 2 1. And here's item 4. --------- Renders to --------- 1. item text. some text below the item but under the same item. 1. next item increments numbers automatically. 1. Here's some code: Code block line 1 Code block line 2 1. And here's item 4. [1]: http://askubuntu.com/revisions/319982/2
