Markdown: continue numbered list

In the following markdown code I want item 3 to start with list number 3. But because of the code block in between markdown starts this list item as a new list. Is there any way to prevent that behaviour?

Desired output:

1. item 1
2. item 2

```
Code block
```

3. item 3

Produced output:

  1. item 1
  2. item 2

Code block

  1. item 3
Solution

  • Use four spaces to indent content between bullet points

    1. item 1
2. item 2

    ```
    Code block
    ```
3. item 3

    Produces:

    1. item 1

    2. item 2

      Code block

    3. item 3
