Maybe this has been reported before, but I can't find it in the
archives.
A code block immediately following an ordered or unordered list
breaks both the list and the code block. Badly.
Tab or spaces for the block don't matter, legal indentation variants
of the list don't matter. Tried a bunch of casual workarounds,
extra newlines, etc., but no joy. Needs explicit <pre><code> --
which also fixes the preceding list, however Markdown then wraps the
<pre> block in a paragraph. PHP Markdown Extra does not.
Reproducible in current Markdown, PHP Markdown Extra, and Maruku.

Input:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some text.
* I am
* a list
I, on the other hand, am a code block. My lines are
indented four spaces.
More text.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<p>Some text.</p>
<ul>
<li>I am</li>
<li><p>a list</p>
<p>I, on the other hand, am a code block. My lines are
indented four spaces.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>More text.</p>

There are dozens of such problems at the margins in current Markdown, mostly stemming from its lack of a real grammar/parser. Unfortunately there has been stiff (not particularly logical IMO) resistance to formalizing markdown on this mailing list. -Jacob Rus

To be able to create list items with block-level content, it is necessary to interpret indented content after a list item as the continuation of the content of that particular item. This creates the impossibility to create a code block immediately following a list, but the other option would be the impossibility of having block-level content (like paragraphs) inside a list item. This has been reported a couple of time already. The current workaround is to insert an HTML comment, unindented, between the list and the code block. That's clearly not optimal however.
