Nested and indented "ini" code blocks break formatting in editor

[BryanForbes]

Steps to reproduce

Given the following content:

```ini
[section]
key=value
```
- A list item with an indented css block
  ```css
  .foo {
    color: blue;
  }
  ```
- A list item with an indented ini block
  ```ini
  [section]
  key=value
  ```
- Another list item that gets the wrong formatting in the editor

The editor (in both live preview and source modes) renders the third list item incorrectly:

Expected result

The syntax highlighting for the ini code block should end and the third list item should be displayed as plain text (as the second list item does)

Actual result

Environment

Still happen on 1.3.7 (Installer 1.1.16), I use toml and bash instead for now

I noticed something more about the .ini files.

The block of text is only colored if I nest the block.
For example, considering this .md note:

## Properties file, or `ini`

```ini
[test]
a = b
```

## Inline

![[2025-02-10#Properties file, or `ini`]]

These block gets rendered like:

As you can see, there is no coloring on the first block of text, but there is color on the second one.

(tested on my Vault and sandbox vault)

I noticed, it gets rendered correctly if the “Reading” mode is on.

This issue still exists in 1.8.9 and can reproduce with both ini and properties code blocks.

With ```ini

With ```properties

But not with ```php

In Live Preview and Source Mode:

When I insert ini language:

Without it, it renders ok:

Environment

Tested with and without:
