I see. Meaning Mastodon strips unwanted things, and when WordPress sends texts to fediverse/mastodon it changes like <h#>header</h#> to **header** to avoid that, but Discourse cooks everything to html-tags, and then Mastodon does cleaning? And the issue hasn’t been > ever, but changing it to html before federation?
Because Mastodon never removes markdown, it just can`t show most of it.
And we are back to beginning: the issue is Discourse, not what Mastodon does, and everything would be just fine, if lines in a quote would start with >.
Or did I understood wrong?
