Hmmmm… let me try!
Here is an exact copy of a post which previously rendered as a single quote:
by Benjamin Tan Wei Hao
The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook gets you started programming applications with Elixir and OTP. You begin with a quick overview of the Elixir language syntax, along with just enough functional programming to use it effectively. Then, you’ll dive straight into OTP and learn how it helps you build scalable, fault-tolerant and distributed applications through several fun examples.
###About the technology
Elixir is an elegant programming language that combines the expressiveness of Ruby with the concurrency and fault-tolerance of Erlang. It makes full use of Erlang?s BEAM VM and OTP library, so you get two decades? worth of maturity and reliability right out of the gate. Elixir?s support for functional programming makes it perfect for modern event-driven applications.
###About the book
The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook gets you started writing applications with Elixir and OTP. You?ll begin with the immediately comfortable Elixir language syntax, along with just enough functional programming to use it effectively. Then, you?ll dive straight into several lighthearted examples that teach you to take advantage of the incredible functionality built into the OTP library.
###What’s inside
- Covers Elixir 1.2 and 1.3
- Introduction to functional concurrency with actors
- Experience the awesome power of Erlang and OTP
- About the reader
- Written for readers comfortable with a standard programming language like Ruby, Java, or Python. FP experience is helpful but not required.
###About the author
Benjamin Tan Wei Hao is a software engineer at Pivotal Labs, Singapore. He is also an author, a speaker, and an early adopter of Elixir.
The input looks like this:

Here is the input:
That is quite a few extra >'s. You can see the original thread (which hasn’t been updated yet, here).
I suppose something the new way fixes is that if you don’t want two paragraphs quoted as one ‘quote’ then there is a break between them (though in that case with the older method you could maybe just add to line breaks or write something in-between them).
I am not sure what is the best solution, but I do know that I frequently have to fix posts because the user is opting to use backticks. I think Jeff may have even fixed some of mine here too because it’s much easier.
Could we add something like the following?
‘’'quote
Paragraph
P2
P3
P4
‘’’
(backticks instead of ''')
That seems like the easiest route 
just use that
the problem is people don’t.
although I wonder, would it be possible to change it slightly, so that if no text is selected and that icon is pressed, it inserts [quote][/quote] into the post and puts the cursor in the middle? So people who are used to copying text, clicking that icon and pasting could still do so?
