This seems to have regressed. If a code block plus a line of non-code text are quoted, the formatting of the code block is preserved. If a code block is quoted on its own, the formatting is not preserved.

I’ve posted an example of the problem here: [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).
