Our wiki has examples of computer commands, so we use <pre>...</pre> boxes.
Can reasonably simple wikitext generate something like the following list?
Example list
* First bullet point is just normal text.
* Second point is followed by example keyboard input.
First line in an indented "pre" box.
Second line in same indented "pre" box.
Some more normal text is sometimes wanted.
* Third point like second.
First "pre" line.
Second "pre" line.
Here is an experiment:
==Example list==
*First bullet point.
*N1 Example<pre>N1 first</pre><pre>N1 second</pre>N1 More text.
*N2 Example<pre>N2 first
N2 second</pre>N2 More text.
*N3 Example<pre>N3 first<br />N3 second</pre>N3 More text.
Each of the N1, N2 and N3 lines makes an indented pre box, but each has a problem:
- N1 gives two boxes.
- N2 has only a single line in the box.
- N3 shows "<br />" (< > are replaced by < > and using <nowiki> didn't help).
Here is an example where I would like to use this:

BTW Is this a suitable question for this list?
