This rule is triggered when two blockquote blocks are separated by nothing
|
|
|
|
|
except for a blank line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
|
> This is a blockquote
|
|
|
|
|
> which is immediately followed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> this blockquote. Unfortunately
|
|
|
|
|
> In some parsers, these are treated as the same blockquote.
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To fix this, ensure that any blockquotes that are right next to each other
|
|
|
|
|
have some text in between:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
|
> This is a blockquote.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And Jimmy also said:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> This too is a blockquote.
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if they are supposed to be the same quote, then add the
|
|
|
|
|
blockquote symbol at the beginning of the blank line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
|
> This is a blockquote.
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> This is the same blockquote.
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale: Some Markdown parsers will treat two blockquotes separated by one
|
|
|
|
|
or more blank lines as the same blockquote, while others will treat them as
|
|
|
|
|
separate blockquotes.
