I created a README.md file on GitHub and there are some markdown problems I can't find a solution to.
When I enter this (The dots represent space signs):
Instructions:..
....1. First sentence..
....2. Second sentence..
........This is some code.
....3. Third sentence..
....4. Fourth sentence
It renders to this:
Instructions:
1. First sentence
2. Second sentence
This is some code.
3. Third sentence
4. Fourth sentence
How can I separate the code block from the numbered list?
I would also like to know how I can tell Markdown to ignore Markdown syntax so I don't have to use dots as a representation of space signs.

To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab. For example, given this input: This is a normal paragraph: This is a code block. A code block continues until it reaches a line that is not indented (or the end of the article).
There are two ways to format code in Markdown. You can either use inline code, by putting backticks (`) around parts of a line, or you can use a code block, which some renderers will apply syntax highlighting to.
Paragraphs. To create paragraphs in Markdown, use one or more lines of consecutive text followed by one or more blank lines. Note: If you don't leave a blank line between blocks of text, they will be collapsed into a single paragraph.
To format a code block in Markdown, indent every line of the block by at least four spaces. An indented code block cannot interrupt a paragraph, so you must insert at least one blank line between a paragraph the indented code block that follows.
How about this?
Instructions:
1. First sentence
2. Second sentence
`This is some code.`
3. Third sentence
4. Fourth sentence
It wouldn't indent each point, however your example with the dots doesn't do it either.
If the spacing between Instructions: and the rest is not what you want, you can use the double space after it and on the two following lines.
UPDATE: After a little fiddling, if you want to keep the numbering of the list and put some code that's relative to a single item on the list you should indent the code block. Also, have a new line before the first element of the list seems to help.
