Listing is not working with "```" if the backticks have spaces/tabs in front of them in README file

Dear Engineers,

There's a bug with the markdown listing in the README files.
The " " can be used for listing, but if we put space/tabs in front of the " ", it's not going to list the content.

It's going to do the listing:

1
2
3
4

Not doing the listing:
1 2 3 4

Thank you for your help,
Norbert
