This seems like the key post talking about this issue:

I think I agree with that for [quote], because [quote] affects the entire block of text; it’s nonsensical to start a quote in the middle of a non-quote line.

But there’s nothing terrible about that for [spoiler]. An exception should be made for inline multi-line spoilers.

There already appears to be some special case code. Consider these examples:

```plaintext
[spoiler]spoiler text[/spoiler]
[quote]quote text[/quote]

```

These behave totally differently. The spoiler works, but the quote doesn’t.

spoiler text

> [@](#):
>
> quote text

P.S. I don’t really care about [quote] but I think that last [quote] example should work, too.
