When I want to list a few things and give a code example below each item how can I do it without writing anything between the list item and the code block?

Example:

  • List item

    Code example not formatted as code

  • List item

text

Code example formatted as code

Normally, code blocks are formatted using four spaces of indentation:

var string = 'string';

  • In a list, code blocks require eight spaces:

    var string = 'string';

  • After a list, a code block can be made using four spaces of indentation, but it needs to be after an intervening <!-- comment -->.

var string = 'string';

    \$\begingroup\$ A rule of thumb for how many spaces you need is \$4(n + 1)\$ where \$n\$ is the level of nested lists. E.g. no lists is \$4(0 + 1)\$. \$\endgroup\$
