Italics works fine for quote IMO.
- nvrspyx 7y ago____ Italics works fine for quote IMO ____ I propose using four underscores as a delimiter of a quote block, like asciidoctor, in addition to italics. I think it looks better than the markdown way of using ">" in front of a quote as it can get quite cumbersome and ugly when you're quoting multiple lines of something. However, I generally enjoy using markdown more if it works on a website. It just looks ugly IMO if it doesn't.
- Jaruzel 7y agothe markdown way of using ">" I think you'll find the practice of prefixing quoted lines with ">" originated with old Unix email and Usenet.
- nvrspyx 7y agoI’m rather young (on the border of Gen Y and Gen Z) so I guess I’m not old enough to have used either old Unix email or Usenet, so thank you for that tidbit.
