Yes, don't use "Insert as snippet" ;)

I'm afraid that's how that command works, because as someone said  
already this is what you want most of the time.

The problem has to do with the markdown syntax I think, in that it  
can't easily tell that the paragraphs are not a continuation of the  
test list. So I don't know if there is an easy way around it. Perhaps  
Jacob or someone else more knowledgeable in the markdown syntax can  
give us some more details.

Do you really need the snippet functionality in your case, i.e.  
"Replace selected text" wouldn't do it? What is the overall problem  
you were trying to solve?
