Code blocks in numbered lists

[Aaron_Cutchin]

My documents are largely strict procedures for executing commands sequentially in a Linux shell environment. As such, indented code blocks in numbered lists are utterly essential.

With Coda.io, currently, code blocks cannot be indented and therefore break numbered list sequence. I cannot stress enough how inconvenient this is.

Markdown supports this feature natively. Confluence supports it. Cannot Coda.io implement it?

This is the problem:

Same. We make a lot of step-by-step procedures with code snippets and basically can’t use numbered lists.

Hey @Aaron_Cutchin and @Chris_Christensen — welcome to the Community!

A workaround for this exists (basically same idea but a numbered instead of collapsible list):

Ability to collapse code blocks

Here’s one workaround, You can put your content into Canvas columns and then @-reference those in your page. The formula will render the canvas (text and layout, and even buttons but no other controls.) You can then apply styling (incl. indent) onto the formula.

+1 this seems like a really silly limitation.
