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
