Why doesn't the markdown file recognize the items "+"? - r-markdown

Question

I have a section in a Rmarkdown file such as:
* Building your YAML spec
+ we can get all the keys each kind supports
```{bash, eval=F}
#apiVersion: v1
#kind: Service
kubectl explain services --recursive
```
+ sepc section
```{bash, eval=F}
kubectl explain services.spec
```
+ sepc type
```{bash, eval=F}
kubectl explain services.spec.type
```
And after I rendered it:
My question is why it doesn't recognize the two pluses as items?

Answer 1

Figure out the solution: Use four spaces to indent code chunks between bullet points
* Building your YAML spec
+ we can get all the keys each kind supports
```{bash, eval=F}
#apiVersion: v1
#kind: Service
kubectl explain services --recursive
```
+ sepc section
```{bash, eval=F}
kubectl explain services.spec
```
+ sepc type
```{bash, eval=F}
kubectl explain services.spec.type
```
This will output the expected items.

Answer 2

In the Rmarkdown flavour of Markdown, the plus sign + is reserved for sub-items of a list. However, to be a sub-item, there needs to be an item. Unfortunately, when you insert a code chunk, you're ending the list, and therefore lose the connection between the original item "Building your YAML spec" and the following sub-items "sepc section" and "sepc type".
It may help to look at the rendered HTML. You should see that before the code chunk, there is a closing tag </ul>.
