Hello,

Org doesn't expect a caption for quote blocks. You can see the Ascii, Markdown and HTML outputs using ox-ascii, ox-md and ox-html exports respectively:

---

How do you visualize the ox-hugo exported Markdown to render the quote block caption? Or how would you have manually written the quote+caption in Markdown?

Oh, sorry, should have checked that

How do you visualize the ox-hugo exported Markdown to render the quote block caption? Or how would you have manually written the quote+caption in Markdown?

An example from my blog:

I have manually written the caption for this in org mode via html export:

#+begin_quote
CL packages are the wrong way to implement packages in Lisp.
As I explained in a discussion two years ago, packages implemented using obarrays (or equivalent) don't work reliably.

We have a much better basis for Lisp packages in the shorthands mechanism.
It only needs to be completed.
#+end_quote
#+begin_export html
<div class="src-block-caption">
<span>Richard Stallman on </span><a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2022-10/msg01786.html">CL packages landed</a>
</div>
#+end_export

Canonically, <cite> is used with <blockquote>. Example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/cite

I have this ox-hugo test:

#+begin_quote
He puts his claw against the divider. "Fist my bump."
#+begin_cite
Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary
#+end_cite
#+end_quote

which renders to https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/test/posts/special-blocks/#inline-html5-elements.

Would that #+begin_cite: .. #+end_cite fit your usecase too?

[kaushalmodi]

Alternatively, this will export pretty close to what you have manually put inside the #+begin_export html (it will just not have the <span> tags):

#+begin_quote

I think these options will work for me. Thanks for the help!
