This is a GitLab wiki markup question. Suppose I want to have a bulleted list, in which a single item has some text, then some laid-out code, then more text. I want the second blob of text to be indented as part of the bullet. Absent the laid-out code, indenting the second para 2 spaces seems to do it: * first bit of text Second bit of text But if there is code in the middle, like this * first bit of text ``` code ``` Second bit of text the second bit of text is not indented. Does anyone know how to achieve the indentation? Simon

Hi Simon, I think you can just indent the code block to achieve this. Ryan On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 12:46 PM Simon Peyton Jones via ghc-devs < ghc-devs@haskell.org> wrote:

It may be solved already, but this is supplementary information.
As Ryan says, you can adjust it with indents as follows:.
* first bit of text
``` <--- Align the number of indent characters
code
```
Second bit of text
Here is an example of markdown:

Ah yes! You have to indent the triple-backticks by two spaces. I never thought of that. Thank you!
