Multiline lists don't highlight correctly.

[jszakmeister]

I have the following in a markdown file:

* A list

  - A list with a really long entry that spans multiple lines to show the
    error that I'm seeing.

It my case, I'm using two spaces for indentation, which means the start of the second line is on a 4 space boundary. It then renders as code--which can be seen in the screenshot below. I realize it's a painful use-case, but it would be nice to see it fixed.

And now you know the reason code blocks aren't highlighted by default.

Heh, I see--I have this in my vimfiles:

    " Setup some extra highlighting for code blocks.  This matches the
    " highlighting from Ben William's syntax/mkd.vim and is a decent fallback
    " when we don't support the embedded language or the block is inline.
    highlight default link markdownCode                  String
    highlight default link markdownCodeBlock             String

So that's where the highlighting comes from. But it'd still be nice to have it work correctly. I guess I need to consider disabling the highlighting for now.

I'm having the same problem, and it's really annoying me because I do a lot of meeting minutes in markdown where a substantial part of the document may be list continuation lines indended more than four spaces.

I figured out how to disable highlighting of code blocks (highlight link markdownCodeBlock NONE), but that also disables _italic_, `code` etc. markup in those blocks. Is there a way to turn off code block regions, e.g. by somehow undoing the syn region markdownCodeBlock start=" \|\t" end="$" contained command after it's been executed?
