When including a quote with a code block, it will not render correctly unless the quote starts with an extra newline character. For example, the following will display correctly:
```
[quote="abarker"]
Sample quote 1, without any code.
[/quote]
```
> [@abarker](#):
>
> Sample quote 1, without any code.
* * *
However, insert a code block into the quote, and things will become problemeatic.
````
[quote="abarker"]
Sample quote 2, with a small code block.
```
n = 2;
```
This will not work
[/quote]
````
> [@abarker](#):
>
> Sample quote 2, with a small code block.
>
> ```plaintext
> n = 2;
>
> ```
>
> This will not work
* * *
Then again, if you add an extra line break to the beginning of the quote, it starts working again:
````
[quote="abarker"]
Sample quote 3, with a small code block.
```
n = 2;
```
This will work
[/quote]
````

If the quote _only_ consists of code, I’ve found adding an extra line has no effect to fix formatting. But inserting two backticks before the code block, and none after it, works.
A single backtick will fix the #, but shows up in the code.

Testing fail condition for current status:

Appears to still be an issue.

This one was a pain to debug. I’ve included a workaround, but this is a core markdown parser bug and it should be revisited.

Похоже, это регрессия. Если цитата содержит блок кода и одну строку текста, не являющегося кодом, форматирование блока кода сохраняется. Если же цитируется только блок кода, форматирование не сохраняется.
Я привел пример этой проблемы здесь: [https://try.discourse.org/t/testing-issue-with-quoted-code-blocks/1401/2](https://try.discourse.org/t/testing-issue-with-quoted-code-blocks/1401/2).

Конечно, можете назначить это @eviltrout?

Понадобилось немного времени, чтобы найти правильное место для исправления, но вот оно!

Здесь что-то не так: поведение на Meta не соответствует тому, что я наблюдал во время разработки.

Разобрался, jQuery меня обманул.
