### This is works (outside of a list, 3 back-ticks syntax):

```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);

```

### This is not works (a code block inside a list, 3 back-ticks syntax):

1. List item 1

2. List item 2

3. List item 3

### This is works (a code block inside a list with 4 spaces syntax but without highlighting):

1. List item 1

2. List item 2

3. List item 3

So, is it a bug or I have missed something?  
How to do syntax highlighting inside a list?
