Block quote support #12

Another idea would be to add block quote support.

So instead of "> " being an un-ordered list it denotes a block quote, providing better compatibility with markdown. The editor would dim the "> " symbol, darken the text that comes after it and draw a vertical line between the two.

What do you think?

Hello, I can see that as being useful to some, but I have not personally needed this.

Honestly, it's not clear to me what the point of the vertical bar would be. In markdown, when you try to copy-paste, you can copy just the text, but IndentEditor, being focused on plain text, you will still copy the >.

I'll keep this in mind if I ever feel like just hacking on the editor, but it's not a need for me.
