If I want to quote a person using markdown, where should I put the author?

Inserting Citations. You insert citations by either using the Insert -> Citation command or by using markdown syntax directly (e.g. [@cite] or @cite ) .
In-text citations include the last name of the author followed by a page number enclosed in parentheses. "Here's a direct quote" (Smith 8). If the author's name is not given, then use the first word or words of the title. Follow the same formatting that was used in the works cited list, such as quotation marks.
Markdown quote requires blank line to end quote.
To create a blockquote, add a > in front of a paragraph. > Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle. The rendered output looks like this: Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle.

> "Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, > the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at > efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and > maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say > about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet > we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%." > > — Donald Knuth
