I'm not sure how to make nested lists work. It looks like the [provided syntax](https://stackoverflow.com/editing-help) *shouldn't* work, because it conflicts with code-spans (also signaled by 4 space indenting). This indeed appears to be what happens, unless there is no intervening text:

* this is a list item

	+ this is a nested list item, processed correctly
* this is a list item

Here is some text

```
+ I want this to line up with the other nested list item, but it doesn't 'cause it's a code span.  

```

+ It's not even a list anymore so 
+ this doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?
