If you want the numbering to continue, you use this format:

#a
#:text
#b
#:text

It will not number the ones indented with ":", and resumes numeration at the next ordinary "#". It doesn't have to be ":", it could also be another number "#" or a bullet "*".

As for the "nice box", personally I can't stand them (they'd wouldnt be so bad if they werent monospaced), but you can call it in HTML by hand:

#a
#:<pre>text</pre>
#b
#:<pre>text</pre>
