Oftentimes I want to include code samples in a list, for example:

1. Item One
2. Item Two, for example:
   
   

   private bool ItemTwo() { return this.IFeelLucky; }

3. Item Three

The problem is there isn't a good and intuitive way to do this using markdown. It's doable, but you have to do some formatting black-magic to get it that way, which is just not "nice" to deal with.

Source that produces this:

1. Item One 2. Item Two, for example: <br/><br/><pre><code>private bool ItemTwo() { return this.IFeelLucky; }</code></pre> 3. Item Three

I would love to just be able to do it this way:

1. Item One 2. Item Two, for example: private bool Test() { return this.IFeelLucky; } 3. Item Three

Which results in, well, this:

1. Item One

2. Item Two, for example:

   private bool Test() { return this.IFeelLucky; }

3. Item Three

Update: In order to use markdown, you have to indent a minimum of 8 spaces. I still stand my ground that this isn't 100% intuitive - you can indent only a single space to continue a list item (see below) - but at least it's good and easy.

1. List item Item continued 2. Another list item

Results in:

1. List item

Item continued

2. Another list item
