I tried that but I couldn't get the span to encompass multiple paragraphs,
which is is what I would need to get page-break-inside to do what I need.
Plus there's the fact that some of my questions contain multiple
paragraphs, so inline elements just don't work well.

The issue is that markdown doesn't have a good way to specify the
difference between the beginning of the "ol" elements and the "li" element
that I'm aware of so I can't put the a div inside the <li> that I could see.

This works okay (it doesn't add the class to the li element directly as I
envisioned, but fills it with a div which is a close next best option, and
seems to work okay for the page breaking).

1.  <div class="question">Question 1
    A.  A1
    B.  B1
    C.  C1
    </div>

2.  <div class="question">Question 2
    A.  A1
    B.  B1
    C.  C1
    </div>

But I can't figure out any equivalent method using fenced divs, which I
would prefer just for markdown prettiness.

You can also add classes to span

1. [Question]{.question}

is valid
