markdown: codehilite produces invalid html when used within a list

When using codeblocks within a list, the list item (if it contains other text as well before the codeblock) is wrapped in a <p></p> element. Within that, when the codeblock comes, codehilite puts a <div class="codehilite"><pre><code># Code goes here ... </code></pre></div> in there.

This is invalid html: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10763780/putting-div-inside-p-is-adding-an-extra-p

Why not just add the class to the <pre> element: <pre class="codehilite"><code># Code goes here ... </code></pre>? This would solve the issue I think.
