code block does not work when immediately following a list

Question

• here is a list
• followed by a code block

• or that´s how it was intended

  sample input sample output 108,174,106 [0.3793103448275862, 0.0, 0.3908045977011494, 0.3176470588235294] 0,0,0 0,0,0,1 170,255,238 33,0,7,0
  0x0088ff 1,0.4667,0,0 [250,235,215] [0,6,14,1.96]

  123456 .7907,.3953,0,.6627

• apparently I have to use backticks and line breaks instead

0,0,0 0,0,0,1
170,255,238 33,0,7,0

[250,235,215] [0,6,14,1.96]
#123456 .7907,.3953,0,.6627

or insert a somehow matching paragraph

#123456           .7907,.3953,0,.6627

to make it work.

Answer 1

• Use 8 spaces of indentation if you want the code block as part of the list:

  Like this
  Neat, huh?
  

• Otherwise, if you want a code block immediately after a list, put an HTML comment (<!-- -->) with no indentation between the list and code block to reset the SE parser to normal paragraph mode.
