Comment on Anon finds the original greentext

It’s just
markdown
Greentext is not a quote, although 4chan colors it green because it was meant to be a quote syntax. The “>” dates to systems before Markdown, such as email.
Even further back than that, I saw somewhere recently they were using them on papyrus!
I’m gonna need a source on that
