Markdown syntax: Blockquotes
Lines starting with > characters are rendered as blockquotes.
Blockquotes can contain multiple paragraphs and support emphasis. They can be nested and contain tables and code blocks.
A whitespace after > is not mandatory but is part of the blockquote tag if present. You must take this into account if you insert a code block that itself is preceded by 4 whitespace characters. In this case 5 whitespace characters are required.
Examples
> This is a blockquote
> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs
>
> This is the second paragraph
> This is a blockquote
>
>> This is a nested blockquote
