Markdown blockquote
Start a line with a greater-than sign and a space to quote it. Everything that follows on that line, and on the lines after it that also start with the sign, becomes one quote.
> Nothing here is uploaded.
> Check your network tab.Nothing here is uploaded. Check your network tab.
> First paragraph.
>
> Second paragraph.First paragraph.
Second paragraph.
The lone `>` on the middle line is what keeps the two paragraphs inside the same quote.
> a quote
>
> > a quote inside ita quote
a quote inside it
> [!NOTE]
> Useful information a reader should know.
> [!WARNING]
> Something that could go wrong.[!NOTE] Useful information a reader should know.
[!WARNING] Something that could go wrong.
GitHub, and now several other renderers, style these as coloured admonitions. Elsewhere they are ordinary quotes with a bracketed word.
What usually goes wrong
- A quote ends at the first line that does not start with
>. Forgetting the sign on a continuation line splits one quote into two. - Other markdown works inside a quote: lists, code blocks and headings all render, as long as every line keeps its
>. - The space after the sign is not strictly required, but leaving it out makes the source harder to read and some renderers stricter.
