Normally, code blocks are formatted using four spaces of indentation:

var string = 'string';

  • In a list, code blocks require eight spaces:

    var string = 'string';

  • After a list, a code block can be made using four spaces of indentation, but it needs to be after an intervening <!-- comment -->.

var string = 'string';
