Code Block Indentation

Thanks for the comment. Yea so, I am able to achieve code block indentation. But with some visual inconsistencies. My Live Preview [live-preview] My Reading View [reading-view] It would be nice if for the live preview, the code block’s left side starts at the indentation (as mentioned in the issue you referenced). And as it gets nested more and more, the indentation seems to increase visually in live preview. The code (//) start becomes more distant in comparison to the bullet point text…

this uses a list to indent a code block.
but I want to indent code block without list…! is this possible?
is this intended behavior?

Steps to reproduce

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y

Expected result

Indentation by itself marks a block as code. So if you indent a fenced code block, you’re marking the backticks as code too.

If you want all code blocks to be indented more, you can use a CSS snippet to do that.

If you only want to indent some code blocks, you’ll need to explain in more detail what you’re trying to accomplish.

If you want to only indent in editing view, you can indent by up to 3 spaces without triggering a code block. The indentation will not appear in reading view.

Also, of course, indentation is preserved within code blocks.
