Markdown: Problems with numbered list paragraphs containing code element - github

I created a README.md file on GitHub and there are some markdown problems I can't find a solution to.
When I enter this (The dots represent space signs):
Instructions:..
....1. First sentence..
....2. Second sentence..
........This is some code.
....3. Third sentence..
....4. Fourth sentence
It renders to this:
Instructions:
1. First sentence
2. Second sentence
This is some code.
3. Third sentence
4. Fourth sentence
How can I separate the code block from the numbered list?
I would also like to know how I can tell Markdown to ignore Markdown syntax so I don't have to use dots as a representation of space signs.

How about this?
Instructions:
1. First sentence
2. Second sentence
`This is some code.`
3. Third sentence
4. Fourth sentence
It wouldn't indent each point, however your example with the dots doesn't do it either.
If the spacing between Instructions: and the rest is not what you want, you can use the double space after it and on the two following lines.
UPDATE:
After a little fiddling, if you want to keep the numbering of the list and put some code that's relative to a single item on the list you should indent the code block.
Also, have a new line before the first element of the list seems to help.

Force GitHub pages to render numerical lists sequentially instead of restarting?

I noticed that when GitHub pages with mkdocs have text or images in between numbers it ignores the numbering in the source document and instead restarts numbering. See here for an example of this.
Is there a way to force mkdocs to render the numbers in the original document instead of inventing its own?
If you add them all as 1. space and text, then sub item as image with a tab, it should work. As an example:
1. Option 1
imgage or next text
1. Option 2
You can check this documentation built using mkdocs as an example.
As Zoran mentioned above that was part of it. Things I figured out:
Code must be double tabbed - you cannot use ```
Indented lists must also be double tabbed - I wasn't able to get a single tab to work
Images do not have to be tabbed - they can be in line with the above text
There should not be an empty line when an image follows a numbered list item BUT FOR CODE there must.
I still haven't completely figured out. mkdoc's behavior is not as predictable as regular markdown

i have this book called learning python the hard way and i have queries regarding that

my code and the terminal .
file = "ex25.py", line 27
words=sort_sentence(sentence)
IndentationError: unindent does not match any other indentation level
The code I wrote in ex25 is:
def print_first_and_last_sorted(sentence):
words =sort_sentence(sentence)
print_first_word(words)
print_last_word(words)
After you define function with the first line, in the second line you need to use proper indentation or spaces. The standard is 4 spaces (4 space keystrokes) or 1 tab.
def print_first_and_last_sorted(sentence):
words =sort_sentence(sentence) # This line and next should be spaced 4 times with
print_first_word(words) # respect to the above one
print_last_word(words)
Your second line is not indented properly. You can compare it with the next lines. They all should be vertically parallel at their start points.
I can't comment but from both the edit and the original post, therefore I can't tell what the indentation actually is.
Python indentation works like blocks of code, similar to other languages except without the curly braces. For example:
def print_first_and_last_sorted(sentence):
words = sort_sentence(sentence)
print_first_word(words)
print_last_word(words)
You may have mixed up spaces & tabs. From this answer, try searching and replacing to replace them with a few spaces.

How to remove extra line space on GitHub markdown bullets/lists?

The GitHub markdown code:
1. First item
* subitem
1. Second item
Generates a big space between the First, Second and the subitem:
How to make the subitem close to the first item, instead of exactly on the middle of them?
This is a Photoshop I did to illustrate the correct output:
Related questions:
Multi paragraph list items, OR preventing numbered list auto formatting
Markdown: Problems with numbered list paragraphs containing code element
You need to indent the sublist with at least 4 spaces:
1. First item
* subitem
2. Second item
You cannot do this going from a primary to secondary item. It is possible from a secondary to tertiary list, however. This is due to GitHub's styling of the markdown, not an inherent issue with the markdown itself.
See this document for details on what is possible regarding different layout styles.
An admittably "hacky" but still working solution:
Choose any character from here.
Copy it and paste it as bullet point:
1. First item [< two spaces for the linebreak]
◦ subitem1 [< two spaces for the linebreak]
◦ subitem2
2. Second item
Don't forget the two spaces for the linebreak.

How can I remove duplicate lines in Visual Studio Code?

Say you have the following text:
abc
123
abc
456
789
abc
abc
I want to remove all "abc" lines and just keep one. I don't mind sorting. The result should be like this:
abc
123
456
789
If the order of lines is not important
Sort lines alphabetically, if they aren't already, and perform these steps:
(based on this related question: How do I find and remove duplicate lines from a file using Regular Expressions?)
Control+F
Toggle "Replace mode"
Toggle "Use Regular Expression" (the icon with the .* symbol)
In the search field, type ^(.*)(\n\1)+$
In the "replace with" field, type $1
Click ("Replace All").
If the order of lines is important so you can't sort
In this case, either resort to a solution outside VS Code (see here), or - if your document is not very large and you don't mind spamming the Replace All button - follow the previous steps, but in steps 4 and 5, enter these:
(based on Remove specific duplicate lines without sorting)
Caution: Blocks for files with too many lines (1000+); may cause VS Code to crash; may introduce blank lines in some cases.
search: ((^[^\S$]*?(?=\S)(?:.*)+$)[\S\s]*?)^\2$(?:\n)?
replace with: $1
and then click the "Replace All" button as many times as there are duplicate occurrences.
You'll know it's enough when the line count stops decreasing when you click the button. Navigate to the last line of the document to keep an eye on that.
Coming in vscode v1.62 is a command to eliminate duplicate lines from a selection:
Delete Duplicate Lines in the Command Palette
or
editor.action.removeDuplicateLines as a command in a keybinding
(there is no default keybinding for this command)
Here is a very interesting extension: Transformer
Features:

Randomize Lines
Randomize Selections
Reverse Lines

Select Lines
Selection As JSON String
Sort Lines By Length
Sort Lines
Sort Selections
Split Lines After

Unique Lines
Removes duplicate lines from the document Operates on selection or
current block if no selection
Unique Lines As New Document
Unique lines are opened in a new document Operates on selection or
current block if no selection
I haven't played with it much besides the "Unique Lines" command but it seems quite nicely done (including attempting a macro recorder!).
To add to #Marc.2377 's reply.
If the order is important and you don't care that you just keep the last of the duplicate lines, simply search for the following regexp if you want to only remove duplicte non-empty lines
^(.+)\n(?=(?:.*\n)*?\1$)
If you also want to remove duplicate empty lines, use * instead of +
^(.*)\n(?=(?:.*\n)*?\1$)
and replace with nothing.
This will take a line and try to find ahead some more (maybe 0) lines followed by the exact same line taken. It will remove the taken line.
This is just a one-shot regex. No need to spam the replace button.
This now also takes the comment of #awk into account, in where the last line has to have a linefeed in order to be identified as a duplicate. This is no longer the case now by excluding the \n from the line to search and adding a $ to the line found.
I just had the same issue and found the Visual Studio Code package "Sort lines". See the Visual Studio Code market place for details (e.g. Sort lines).
This package has the option "Sorting lines (unique)", which did it for me. Take care of any white spaces at the beginning/end of lines. They influence whether lines are considered unique or not.
Install the DupChecker extension, hit F1, and type "Check Duplicates".
It will check for duplicates and ask if you want to remove them.
Try find and replace with a regular expression.
Find:
^(.+)((?:\r?\n.*)*)(?:\r?\n\1)$
Replace:
$1$2
It is possible to introduce some variance in the first group.
If you don't mind some Vim in your VS Code. You can install Vim emulation plugin.
Then you can use vim commands
:sort u
It will sort lines and it will remove duplicates
Sublime Text 3
It has blisteringly fast native permutation functions.
Edit > Permute Lines > Unique or ⇧⌘U, and
Edit > Permute Selections > Unique
Visual Studio Code is my daily driver. But, I keep Sublime Text on standby for these situations.
Not actually in Visual Studio Code, but if it works, it works.
Open a new Excel spreadsheet
Paste the data into a column
Go to the Data tab
Select the column of data (if you haven't already)
Click Remove Duplicates (somewhat in the middle of the bar)
Click OK to remove duplicates.
It is not the best answer, as you specified Visual Studio Code, but as I said: If it works, it works :)

Remove page numbering from a section break

Does anybody have a clue about how to remove the page numbering from a section break in a word 2007 doc?
I have to put 3 documents together
1st part contains the page numbering and the formatting
2nd part ends takes the numbering from the 1st part and continues it. It ends with a section break(next page)
3rd page also takes the numbering (the numbering starts from 1) and I don't want that.
The last part contains some covers and other info pages and I don't want any numbering on them.
The 2nd and 3rd parts were inserted using AltChunk. I've tried locking the 3rd part for editing, i've tried putting a white rectangle over the footer, in front of the text, i've tried putting a section break (continuous) at the beginning of the 3rd part...all for nothing. The 3rd part simply adopts the same footer as the previous parts.
Can you please give me any feedback, ideas on how to find a solution or a workaround?
