Hi!

I’d like to try to modify the `buildQuote` function so it adds a new line before the opening `[quote]` tag.

Basically, modifying this:

```js
  return `[quote="${params.join(", ")}"]\n${contents.trim()}\n[/quote]\n\n`;

```

to this:

```js
  return `\n[quote="${params.join(", ")}"]\n${contents.trim()}\n[/quote]\n\n`;

```

Is it possible to do such a thing with a theme component? How do I override this function? 😃
