This syntax >*< OR >< would allow quotes even when whitespace is inbetween
Because at the moment this syntax > just works for blocks… would be nice to be flexible

Is this Idea possible ?

I’m sure the Community will find something. Ether it’s one of these ideas or something else…
I just would be happy if there is something like that

@hawk GitLab has used a syntax for this for several years GitLab Multline Blockquote:

>>>
Multiquote starting here
line x

line y

line z
>>>

It can handle multiple levels (like a code-fence block). Support was recently added to comrak, and there is a markdown-it plugin as well markdown-it-glfm-multline-blockquote - npm. The spec file can be found at spec/fixtures/glfm-spec/multiline_blockquote.txt · main · GitLab.org / ruby / gems / GLFM Markdown · GitLab
