How can I wrap a multi-line quote in GFM?

Question

Markdown has this great feature to wrap a bunch of quote between three backticks (```) to open the wrap and another three to close it. The content between those can span several lines and even include blank lines. Everything will be preserved.

Is there an equivalent for the quote that doesn't require me to add > in front of every line I want to wrap?

Something like >>> to start the wrap quote and >>> to close it again?

Answer 1

There is no way to do that in pure Markdown, nor in GFM.

If you use line breaks instead of paragraphs, you only need one >:

> Lorem[space][space] ipsum[space][space] dolor sit amet 

Result:

Lorem
ipsum
dolor sit amet

Answer 2

If you're using kramdown, you can use break <br> or multiple <br><br> break tag. As you know, the break tag inserts a single line break.

Lorem<br>ipsum<br><br>dolor sit amet

Result:

Lorem
ipsum

dolor sit amet
