I’m pretty sure this is because quote don’t escape the chars inside it.

if it’s gonna be a #pr-welcome I’ll work on this as I’m also trying to work on another request regarding quote.

Therefore, setting the option “solved quote length” to 0 (zero) should disable the embedded quote and only display the “Solved by xyz in post 23”. I thought the corresponding line is [this one](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved/blob/master/plugin.rb#L239), tried to implement it on my own but but the box disappeared completely.
