Quoted replies generated by Discord bots are not shown correctly (the reply is quoted as well)

[wapsi]

If bot in Discord uses quoting when replying to some message, the whole message (including the reply to the quoted message) will shown as quoted in Matrix (Element).

Here is a sample screenshot how the message is seen in the official Discord chat:

That message is shown in Element like this:

So, as you can see, the reply is just embedded into that quoteblock element too.

I checked by using the Firefox inspection tool that the HTML code and elements are like this in that message:

<a href="xxx" aria-label="10:29">
  <span class="mx_MessageTimestamp" title="xxx" aria-hidden="true" aria-live="off">10:29</span>
</a>
<div class="mx_MTextBody mx_EventTile_content">
  <span class="mx_EventTile_body markdown-body" dir="auto">
    <blockquote>
      <p>
        <span>
          <bdi>
            <a class="mx_Pill mx_UserPill mx_UserPill_me" href="xxx" aria-describedby="xxx">
              <img loading="lazy" class="mx_BaseAvatar mx_BaseAvatar_image" src="xxx?width=16&amp;height=16&amp;method=crop" style="width: 16px; height: 16px;" alt="" data-testid="avatar-img" aria-hidden="true">
              <span class="mx_Pill_text">yyy</span>
            </a>
          </bdi>
        </span>: ... ne suoraan syslog-palvelun kautta johki /var/log/syslog jne. <br> Se init-skriptien ...
      </p>
    </blockquote>
  </span>
</div>

So, as you can see, the Bridge (I assume) does not separate that reply and the quoted message: they are both inside the same <blockquote> element, there is just one <br> tag between them.

From what I can see, this is more of an issue with Discord's non-standard Markdown not being parsed correctly. The bridge parses and sends it as one blockquote.
