Describe the bug
It is about the numbered lists where I can not insert a code block style. The code block style is greyed out in a numbered list.

Steps To Reproduce
See first screenshot. I did copy that from the Docker website.
Bookstack does display this without any problems.
However if I try to reproduce this manually, it is NOT possible.

Create numbered list
shift enter
try to insert a code block. Impossible. Greyed out in "Formats" menu, OR the code block takes the complete part of the numbered list as input, which is of course not the intention.

Expected behavior
I can insert a code block in a numbered/bulleted list.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): 0.26.2
PHP Version: 7.3
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Docker, linuxserver/bookstack image.

Thanks for the clear description of this @MarsWarrior.

As it stands, Code blocks are block level elements which are currently not supported within list items due to the formatting and editor complexities it can introduce, but I can see why you may want this feature.

Since this has already been requested in #534 I'm going to close this off as a duplicate. Adding a 👍 to the original post there will help show support.
