I would like to include source code snippets as part of list items, like so

1. I tried this as root
   #+begin_src shell
   rm -rf /
   #+end_src
2. Now the computer won't boot.

but org-meta-return after the source doesn’t give the next number, it starts a new headline. How can I include code as part of the list and not have it terminate the list? (The same question applies to #+begin_quote/#+end_quote.)

    Considering your version of Org-Mode I would recommend updating to a newer version, 7.4 was released 13 months ago.

    If I’m reading your release string properly you are currently using commit 56399 that was submitted on [2011-02-27 Sun 11:01]. Since then there have been 1983 commits and the version number has been pushed up to 7.8.03 (currently shipping with 7.7 I believe).

    For information on how to update to the newest version please see:
    Download and install Org-Mode
    How to keep up to date

    You should also be able to update by using apt-get install org-mode in Debian and Ubuntu. Ubuntu 11.10 has 7.6 (which may or may not have the desired change, you’d have to see) in it’s repository and 12.04 has 7.8.02. If you’re running Debian it looks like Sid has 7.8.02 in it as well.
