Bug: HTML blockquote tags are not styled in comments (and HTML documents?) #3653

Open raphj opened 4 years ago

raphj commented 4 years ago

Description and expectations

The blockquote HTML tag is useful to quote someone. They are usually indented (default HTML style when using no CSS). Usage examples are in forums and in mail clients like Thunderbird.

In Tracim, they are not indented and their margins are eaten in comments, and possibly in HTML document as soon as they are rendered (not in edition mode), making them confusing and unusable.

To do:

[ ] Make the blockquote tag stand out.

I just ran into this issue by replying to a comment by mail.

I answered a Tracim comment by a mail, quoting initial points and answering them one by one. These quote are not displayed when the comment is shown, which makes it very hard to follow. The quotes are there in the HTML code, though.

Answering a mail point by point is very common practice, we probably ought to support this use case, in particular for situation when Tracim users are interacting with external people who use mail to answer Tracim comments.
