Description

The parser of markdown-preview seems to not recognize well the delimiter of a code block written directly after a list without any empty line, although it is properly handled on Github. Actually, it seems like markdown-preview is trying to embed the code block at the list level but fail to recognize the end of the code block, whereas Github rendering makes the choice to render all code block outside of the list level.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Write the following gist in a new tab: https://gist.github.com/piroux/0caf3509cd000e254dab357025c9faf1
2. CTRL+SHIFT+M to activate the vanilla Markown Preview
