This should work, but doesn't.

Something. Now I want code to demonstrate it.

1+2+345+6
It didn't format even though I used the 101010 button (indenting).

I think the problem is that the markup uses spaces to determine what should be part of the bulleted list, and what shouldn't. This is tricky when you also consider multiple paragraphs in the same bullet point. Here's some markup, and then a copy of the syntax that produced it:

item one is short
item two is long

and consists of multiple paragraphs
this is another item

this is another paragraph within the same item

and this is a paragraph after the bulleted list

another list
I'll add code here by using the <pre> tag:
```
code_text_*
```

And here is the markup:

 * item one is short
 * item two is long

   and consists of multiple paragraphs
 * this is another item

   this is another paragraph within the same item

and this is a paragraph *after* the bulleted list

 * another list
 * I'll add code here by using the &lt;pre&gt; tag:
   <pre>code_text_*</pre>

Note that the pre tag doesn't get syntax hilighting, but works otherwise

It is very fortunate that this very ticket was open on the markdown2 library just last week and it was accepted http://code.google.com/p/python-markdown2/issues/detail?id=13 I'll watch the progress on that. Thanks. Evgeny (Jan 28 '11)
Great to know. I'd vote Evgeny's answer correct, but he didn't actually answer :) kcrisman (Jan 28 '11)
