Markdown: continue numbered list

Question

In the following markdown code I want item 3 to start with list number 3. But because of the code block in between markdown starts this list item as a new list.

Answer 1

As an extension to existing answers. For those trying to continue a numbered list after something other than a code block. For example a second paragraph. Just indent the second paragraph by at least 1 space.

Markdown:

1. one
2. two

 three
3. four

Output:

1. one

2. two

   three

3. four
