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.
