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

    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.
