Re: Can we have """ convert to blockquote

Do you mean having the textarea being parsed when submited, where """ is parsed to blockquote tags? If anything would be typed to get such behavior it should be consistent with the shortcuts that are already available. What you are suggesting looks like wiki formating, and I find it odd having a mixture of formating rules when you want to output HTML.

I personally believe that metaperl's suggestion does not fit well in the monastery. But to be precise, there are many wiki languages which are not incompatible with raw html code, so your argument is not valid. Said this, I do like jdporter, except that my template is slightly different. What I'd really really like is an "official" `<quote>` tag, which would probably amount to a `<blockquote>` of an appropriate class behind the curtains. But I asked about it already, and it's not goint to be implemented, it seems. `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
