Markdown no newlines in codeblock

No matter what I try I cannot seem to get code blocks to show newlines. Additionally, it only seems possible to specify newlines in OSF’s markdown renderer in general by adding 2 spaces to the end of a line, but even that doesn’t work inside codeblocks.

The block displays fine of course if it contains no newlines. However something like this: ``` line 1
line 2
```

Will show up as: line 1 line 2

I’ve tried searching for different types of markdown syntax and trying just about every variant I can think of, and the block simply will not display newlines.

I can work around the issue by just making every single line of code its own block and adding 2 spaces to the end of each to achieve a newline, but this is rather tedious and looks very ugly.

If this is by design is there any chance it could be changed? There is already a feature for single line blocks using single quotes. In markdown triple quotes is supposed to be reserved for blocks that might contain newlines.

Hello, sorry for the confusion. Here a link to the specific Doc.

In short, indent each line of the block by four spaces.

     This is
     a three
     line code block

This
is
not

Ok that simple file works, and after trying a few other things I think the issue is preceding the block by a bulleted line, or a non-bulleted line that is itself preceded by one.

For example, this doesn’t work:

- Bulleted line

    this code block
    doesn't work

But:

Non-bulleted line

    this code block
    works

and also, strangely enough:

- Bulleted line
Non-bulleted line

    this code block
    also doesn't work
