Quotes in the old editor

Quoting a paragraph

• To quote a paragraph, add the > character at the start of that paragraph.

• To create a nested quote, insert the >> characters at the start of the paragraph.

• Separate the quote from the following text with an empty line.

• You can use other kinds of formatting inside quotes, such as headings, lists, or a bold font.

Sample markups:

•  >Quote text
  

•    >First-level quote.
     >>Second-level quote.
     >
     >First level again.
  

•    >#### Subtitle
     >* *First* item.
     >* **Second** item.
     >
     >`code snippet`
  

Quoting a long text

• To quote a long piece of text, enclose the quote in <[and ]>.

• This format also supports nested quotes and other markup elements.

Sample markups:

•  >[First-level quote.
   >Second-level quote
  
   First level again.]>
  

•  <[#### Subtitle
   * *First* item.
   * **Second** item.
  
   `code snippet`]>
