Remove vertical spacing before code block

[ljschmid]

What I try to do

I want to remove the space that seems to be added before code blocks. My example is with the tasks-block, but I think it also applies to dataview code blocks, and it definitely applies to the unordered list of class unordered-task-list. It does not apply to simple code blocks without “functionality”.
In the screenshot, that would be the area highlighted in orange.

What I have tried

I have set padding and margin of the following elements to 0px:

• .contains-task-list
• .block-language-tasks

like so:

ul.contains-task-list, .block-language-tasks {
  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

I have tried some different configurations (with and without ul or div prefixed, only one or both classes, only padding/margin or both set to 0).

The space seems not to be influenced by the text before it.

The previous paragraph (inside the previous div) also has a margin:

Try this snippet instead, which works in the sandbox:

:has(+ .el-pre > .block-language-tasks) > p,
:has(+ .el-pre > .block-language-dataview) > p
{
	margin-block-end: 0;
}

ul.contains-task-list,
.block-language-tasks > div > ul:first-of-type {
	margin-block-start: 0;
}
