  idk why but I kind of like to read it with random keywords highlighted and every apostrophe toggling the effect

  I didn’t do it on purpose, I just copied and pasted

    Ah I see, should familiarize yourself with Lemmy’s markdown.

      I know it but I haven’t seen a good way of doing a long quote. Do I need the > on every single line? I’ve no idea why this time it put it into a code block, maybe something to do with my app (sync). The comment actually looks fine in a code block on my app so I thought it was good enough. Didn’t realise how shit it looked on desktop until you brought it up.

        I know it but I haven’t seen a good way of doing a long quote.

        Just gotta do the start of each paragraph.

        ---

        This is an example of a paragraph

        This is paragraph 2

        This is paragraph 3 without the >

        This is paragraph 4

  I tend to use them because they’re easier than quotes.

  Newlines won’t terminate the block but with quotes you have to manually insert a > at each linebreak.

    No you don’t
    You just have to make sure to terminate the line with two spaces. Unless you have a different markdown renderer than the web interface and most apps.

    Or does line break mean empty lines to you?

      I understand you can use double space to use a markdown linebreak.

      However if you’re copy pasting a quote this still has to be done manually by the person copying the text.
