Note

For information on how to work with quotes in the new editor, see Block formatting.

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
    See the result

  •   >First-level quote.
  >>Second-level quote.
  >
  >First level again.
    See the result

  •   >#### Subtitle
  >* *First* item.
  >* **Second** item.

Quoting a long text

>Second-level quote

First level again.]>
