A standoff between the site and some of its most devoted users exposes an existential dilemma.

    Oh, nice! So I set the quote in between the greater then and less then symbols and it will show the quote? That is pretty cool. Thank you.

      Not quite I think. I believe this uses markdown, which just uses the > at the beginning of a line

      > This is a quote

      should become

      This is a quote

      And if you need more lines, you just keep symboling

      > 1
      > 2
      > 3

      1
      2
      3

        And I believe you can do a multi line quote with 3:

        >>> hello darkness my old friend
        I’ve come to speak with you again
        More
        Lines

        hello darkness my old friend
        I’ve come to speak with you again
        More
        Lines

        Unless I’m wrong and this isn’t actually working

        Hmm well that looks like it worked too well

          Nah, multi-line is just

          > line 1
          line 2
          line 3
          
          

          line 1
          line 2
          line 3

          You only need multiple > if you want paragraphs:

          > paragraph 1
          
          > paragraph 2
          
          

          paragraph 1

          paragraph 2

                  test post, please ignore //\\><*;

                  the narwhal bacons at midnight //\><*;

                  I hope the inconsistent escape character behavior doesn’t break anything. Also, it would be nice to have some way to start a new paragraph after a spoiler with a blank line between them.
