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

I solved this problem on Github separating the indented sub-block with a newline, for instance, you write the item 1, then hit enter twice (like if it was a new paragraph), indent the block and write what you want (a block of code, text, etc). More information on Markdown lists and Markdown line breaks.

Example:

1. item one

2. item two

   this block acts as a new paragraph, above there is a blank line

3. item three

   some other code

4. item four
