markdown nested blockquotes

> Blockquotes can also be nested...

results in:

<blockquote>

&gt; &hellip;by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other&hellip;

This needs to be:

This text, here on github:

> Blockquotes can also be nested...
>> ...by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other...
> > > ...or with spaces between arrows.

results in this:

Blockquotes can also be nested...

...by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other...

...or with spaces between arrows.

The example you gave above seems to not have worked at all on github?

what has github's markdown parser to do with this issue?

According to babelmark majority of parsers do nested blockqutoe:

https://babelmark.github.io/?text=%3E+Blockquotes+can+also+be+nested...%0A%3E%3E+...by+using+additional+greater-than+signs+right+next+to+each+other...%0A%3E+%3E+%3E+...or+with+spaces+between+arrows.

Would be good to have that too, although probably not trivial to implement.

Looked a bit at the code, certainly not trivial. Current code does process the quoteblock again, but this start at the start of Blockquotes can also be nested..., on that it will assert quotePrefix which fails because it starts with a B, the prefix will then not be checked again any we go into the paragraph case, where all remaining text is swept up into a .

https://github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/blob/master/parser/block.go#L1071 is where we actually detect that second prefix.

Fixing this is pretty involved.
