The issue is that if I want to select one line and quote/âunquote it, it either a) quotes (unquotes) lines before and after it, or creates a bunch of newlines before and after it. Deleting newlines in quote blocks also has the issue of quoting (unquoting) unintended blocks.
Perhaps I should just switch to markdown for comments, and remember to switch back to a rich text editor for copying and pasting top-level posts?
Some ways that I do multiple blockquotes in posts/âcomments:
Start with nothing in blockquotes. Then, make sure anything I want to blockquote is in its own paragraph. Then, highlight the paragraph and format it as a quote. I havenât ever seen this pick up earlier/âlater paragraphs, and any newlines that are created, I can just delete.
You can also start with everything in blockquotes. If you hit âenterâ at the end of one paragraph, youâll create a blank blockquote line between it and the next paragraph. If you hit âenterâ from the newline, youâll end up with two separate blockquoted sections with a non-blockquote line in the middle.
It sounds like youâre seeing some unexpected behavior when you try (1), but I havenât been able to replicate it. If you want to jump on a quick call to investigate, that might be easier than trying to resolve the issue via text â you can set one up here.
What editor are you using? The default rich text editor? (EA Forum Docs)
