We've got a section in the Spring Boot docs where we're using code blocks within a list. It produces warnings at build time and the item numbers are incorrect in the generated documentation: 1, 2, 1, 1, 1 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

It's a bit of a hack, but I've tried using ["arabic", start=n] (where n is 3, 4, or 5) to start the "new" lists with the right number. Unfortunately, it had no effect.

How can we use code blocks as part of an item in a list and retain the correct item numbering?
