When writing the following:

> This is some code:
>
>     Some indented code
>
>     More code

The MD0027 warning is triggered, which I think is a bug as the above is valid markdown.

This is some code:
Some indented code

More code

Hmm, and just as I hit send I cannot reproduce it any more.... sorry for the noise. I'll reopen if I fugure out what is going on.

Seems like it is github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint@730ae9a96f (diff-2725cc5ae2) that changed the behaviour of this. Not sure if it is already fixed or not. The reason I got confused was that I was running an earlier version locally and a later version in CI.

MD027 does produce a warning for the indented code block in your example: https://dlaa.me/markdownlint/#%25m%23%20Issue%201393%0A%0A%3E%20This%20is%20some%20code%3A%0A%3E%0A%3E%20%20%20%20%20Some%20indented%20code%0A%3E%0A%3E%20%20%20%20%20More%20code%0A

While correct, I think it should probably accommodate indented code blocks inside blockquotes. I'll have a look.
