Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/189

When using fenced code blocks inside a list the 'MD031 - Fenced code blocks should be surrounded by blank lines' rule is not triggered due to the leading indentation.

- item 1
- item 2
    ```c
    int main()
    {
    return 0;
    }
    ```
- item 3

It looks to me like MD031 is triggered for the top and bottom fences of your example: https://dlaa.me/markdownlint/#%25m%23%20Issue%20189%0A%0A-%20item%201%0A-%20item%202%0A%20%20%20%20%60%60%60c%0A%20%20%20%20int%20main()%0A%20%20%20%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20return%200%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%60%60%60%0A-%20item%203%0A

Could you please provide more detail about how to reproduce the issue?

I'm using markdownlint-cli. I was using version 0.13.0 and seeing this issue but updating to the latest (0.16.0) seems to have resolved the problem. Sorry for the trouble.
