To be clear, as the Markdown feature gets broken by my report.

Here is how Cursor incorrectly renders it:

Hey, thanks for the clear repro and the comparison with PyCharm, it really helps.

Confirmed. A fenced code block nested inside a numbered list with a sub-bullet disappears in Markdown Preview, so 2. C visually sticks to the previous item. Standard markdown-it parses this correctly, so the issue is in our preview renderer. I’ve added this to the existing markdown rendering issue. I can’t share an ETA yet, I’ll post an update here once I have one.

Workaround if you need a quick fix for a specific file. Add a blank line with no indentation between the list and the code block so it exits the continuation list. It renders correctly, but the block is no longer structurally nested.
