I am using the Symfony CMS and it uses Markdown for article writing. I need to do a blockquote of a quote from Benjamin Franklin and would like to have the quote followed by a citation beneath it, but right now all it does is blockquote the whole line. How does one do this in markdown syntax?

Inserting Citations. You insert citations by either using the Insert -> Citation command or by using markdown syntax directly (e.g. [@cite] or @cite ) . Citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons.
To create a blockquote, start a line with greater than > followed by an optional space. Blockquotes can be nested, and can also contain other formatting. To keep the quote together, blank lines inside the quote must contain the > character.
The correct way to write quotes in Markdown is to just write quotes literally, i.e., use " " . They will be converted to the correct LaTeX code (i.e., `` '' ) when Markdown is converted to LaTeX (via Pandoc). The same thing applies to single quotes.
Markdown has no dedicated citation syntax.
Your best bet is something like this:
> Quote here.
>
> -- <cite>Benjamin Franklin</cite>
which results in:
Quote here.
-- Benjamin Franklin
