Add ">" support for blockquote #1323

Closed alberic89 closed 1 year ago

alberic89 commented 1 year ago

This commit adds the possibility to use “>” instead of “>” to introduce a blockquote. This prevents blockquotes from not being rendered when Markdown is escaped.

Are there any other implementations which employ this behavior? More specifically, does the reference implementation?

If not, then I would suggest that you can implement this as a third-party extension.

Absolutely not. When > is HTML escaped, it is not treated as Markdown by any implementation that I know of: https://babelmark.github.io/?text=%26gt%3B+test
