I was hoping that a customizable text template was used for creating the transcript. If the transcript was created that way, it might be possible to customize the template from the Admin / Customize / Text page. Unfortunately, the use of the quote is hard coded into the plugin here:
Looking at the code, it seems that it could be difficult to use a customizable template for this. I think for now you will have to manually edit the transcripts to remove the quote.
I agree that the example you have posted with the removed quote looks better. I’ll ping @david here to see if he has any ideas about this.
Yeah agreed, I don’t think a translatable template would work too well. But we could add a site setting for quotes/no-quotes.
Personally I prefer the separation that quotes provide. It keeps the “fast lane” and “slow lane” separated, and is also a closer match to the quoting behaviour we have for Discourse Chat.
I totally respect that, but there are many features that really seem to work better without quotes. Let me try to persuade you @david. For example, embedding Github gists or other Discourse topics don’t work in quotes, but if you remove the quote blocks, they get added nicely. Here is proof:
Embedding other Discourse topics for reference doesn’t work well in quotes
