This markdown:
- Hello<br>
bla bla
- Example<br>
```javascript
var message = 'hello';
console.log(message);
```
The <br> is also needed in Hugo for a line break in the list item, which differs from other generators.
Renders as:
javascript var message = 'hello'; console.log(message);Assuming you use Blackfriday, please post an issue here:
https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/issues
And link back to this issue.
You should post the entire description on the BF issue, not just a link back here.
This works
- Hello<br>
bla bla
- Example<br>
```javascript
var message = 'hello';
console.log(message);
\``` (remove that leading \ and this comment)
- Hello again!
Simply put an extra newline between each list item. I do not know if this is a hack, or if this is how it supposed to be done. But I have learned doing that by trial and error :)

Reported a similar/same issue. The hack mentioned above breaks the ordering in an ordered list, so it doesn't really work. Linked issue includes a demo markdown file and says specifically what is wrong in the generated HTML.

Works fine for me:

<ol>
<li>
<p>awk</p>
<div class="highlight">
<pre><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span></span><span class="nb">pwd</span> <span class="p">|</span> awk -F/ <span class="s1">'{print $NF}'</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>rev and cut</p>
<div class="highlight">
<pre><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span></span><span class="nb">pwd</span> <span class="p">|</span> rev <span class="p">|</span> cut -d/ -f <span class="m">1</span> <span class="p">|</span> rev
</code></pre>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>basename</p>
<div class="highlight">
<pre><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span></span>basename <span class="sb">`</span><span class="nb">pwd</span><span class="sb">`</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
I see. If you put a newline after the code block but not before it, the numbering is maintained.
If you put an empty line before the code block as well as after, the numbering is not maintained. I don't know if that is expected behavior, but it is certainly surprising to me.

This issue will automatically be closed in the near future if no further activity occurs. Thank you for all your contributions.
I believe this issue can be closed as hugo itself has little to do with it. But the Blackfriday repo issue handling and maintenance is in a sad state .. there has been no activity on the issues posted related to this current issue: https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/issues/326, https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/issues/239, and also in general (I have noticed that for quite a few months)! 馃槥
Workaround I currently use: 8 space indentation to get the code block. {{< highlight ... >}} to get syntax highlighting if I want it that badly.
Close it for hugo.
This has been fixed recently in https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/pull/476 and https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/pull/521. It would be great to update the blackfriday dependence to include these fixes.
Did the update from BlackFriday ever get merged into Hugo? I'm still seeing weird code-block stuff.

Here's my Markdown for the image above:
#### Run the Installation
1. Connect to your machine via SSH or open a terminal if you are working on a local installation.
2. Change to your root `~` directory and update your system:
```bash
cd ~
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
```
3. Download the latest [package](https://github.com/exampleproject/releases) to your computer if you haven't already. You can also use `wget` if you'd prefer:
```bash
wget https://github.com/exampleproject/release.tar.bz2
```
4. Unzip the package and move the directory to your home `~` directory:
I'm also face this issue, it seems be fixed in the blackfriday, but in hugo this issue still exists.
Yup, same issue here
