this example

• bla

• bla2

  this should be treated as code block

and it is not ...

but if bullets are not above this, it works

Is this markdown limitation? I know that 8 spaces are required to make codeblock appear under bullet, but I don't want it to be under bullet. I want it outside of bullet as normally shown (as code block).

Yes, this is an ambiguity and limitation in markdown. I'm not sure if it can be fixed, but I've filed a bug in the Debian BTS about it. I'm going to close this bug in the ikiwiki BTS, since it's not a bug in ikiwiki's own code. --Joey
