Multiple <blockquote>'s in a row using Markdown Syntax?


I'm trying to include multiple blockquotes using markdown, but I'm stuck on the syntax for closing out the initial blockquote and starting a new one instead of continuing in the current blockquote and adding additional paragraphs...

=== Current syntax ===

>   Review1
>   -- <cite>Person1</cite>
  
>   Review2
>   -- <cite>Person2</cite>

=== Current result ===

<blockquote> 
  <p>Review1
    -- <cite>Person1</cite></p> 
  
  <p>Review2
    -- <cite>Person2</cite></p>
</blockquote>

=== Wanted result ===

<blockquote> 
  <p>Review1
    -- <cite>Person1</cite></p> 
</blockquote> 

<blockquote> 
  <p>Review2
    -- <cite>Person2</cite></p>
</blockquote>

Solution

  • Put in a comment

    >   Review1
    >   -- <cite>Person1</cite>
    
    <!>
    
    >   Review2
    >   -- <cite>Person2</cite>
    

    or a manual line break

    >   Review1
    >   -- <cite>Person1</cite>
    
    <br>
    
    >   Review2
    >   -- <cite>Person2</cite>
    

    Result

    Review1 -- Person1

    Review2 -- Person2
