No you are missing the correct way to do this in Markdown:

- Item 1

- Item 2

- Item 3

Remember **fenced code blocks were never part of the classic Markdown spec** , such as it was…

I don’t think what you want to do is possible without using a “loose” list, versus a “tight” (no spacing) list.

```
- Item 1

    I can type some words here

- Item 2

         var msg = "Hello world!";
         console.debug(msg);

    This is not hidden

- Item 3

```

This is a tight list

- I am
- so close
- to each line

This is a loose list

- I am

- So far apart

- From each line

I always have to remind @sam about the different loose and tight list behaviors since so much is implicit in Markdown. But TL;DR **never mix loose and tight lists**.
