indented bullet point after R chunk in Rmarkdown

Question

Is there a way to continue a list with an indented bullet point following an R chunk in Rmarkdown (with HTML output)? When I try this:

## R Markdown

1. First item in list
    + run this R code:  
    ```{r cars}
    # code...
    ```
    + Continuing a list at the same level after an R chunk works.
2. Second item
```{r}
# example code
```
    + Continuing a list at an increased level of indentation doesn't work.

I get this:

Answer 1

You should indent any code block relative to the list item it belongs to, i.e. both the first and the second code block:

## R Markdown

1. First item in list
    + run this R code:  
        ```{r cars}
        # code...
        ```
        and look at the output
    + Continuing a list at the same level after an R chunk works.
2. Second item
    ```{r}
    # example code
    ```
    + Continuing a list at an increased level of indentation does work.

this way continuing the list item after the code block works in addition to handling new list items properly:
