You can do this easily with kramdown: * for * bar * Code 1 (8 spaces) Code 2 Code 3 * Another list item will produce ul lifor/li libar/li li precodeCode 1 Code 2 Code 3 /code/pre /li liAnother list item/li /ul The line with the `* ` (after `* bar`) is needed to tell kramdown that this is a list item and not just an asterisk.

Re: Multiline code block within a list
discount, PHP markdown, lunamark, pandoc2, and possibly others allow a code block as sole list item; you just need make sure that the text starts in the 8th column (where the list marker is the 1st column): * hi hi ul liprecodehi hi /code/pre/li /ul The ``` syntax for code blocks is a github addition, not supported by most other implementations. However, several implementations support fenced code blocks like this: code pandoc allows these as sole list items. * code +++ Thomas Leitner [Nov 07 11 21:55 ]: On 2011-11-08 01:08 +0800 Ryan Chan wrote: Actually this is one of the limitation that I went to reST...sad to hear the suitation is still the same.. ___ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss@six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
