Continuing the discussion from [Inline language markup? (language learning site)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/inline-language-markup-language-learning-site/63582/21):

Not sure if this would be considered a bug or a request for enhancement. Basically, when you quote ruby text, the quote doesn’t show up correctly. For example:

日に本ほん語ご

If you quote this you’ll get something like:  
日に本ほん語

Could this be updated in some way so the quote includes the ruby tags for proper formatting? Or is that consider an “advanced” quote that will only work on full post quoting?
