Any text placed _directly_ between a `---` (break line _or_ heading) and a quote disappears completely.

```
Heading
---
text
[quote]
quote
[/quote]

```

=

## Heading

text

> [@](#):
>
> quote

.  
.  
.

Adding an extra empty line above or below the text fixes it though.

```
Heading
---

text
[quote]
quote
[/quote]

```

=

## Heading

text

> [@](#):
>
> quote

@zogstrip is this a legit bug, or is something with the markdown tool?

It’s a bug, but one we are not planning to address till we move to the new markdown engine

In general stuff tagged #markdown-it-review are on hold till we make the move.

No more vanishing text per:

> Per our [migration plans](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-commonmark-migration-plans-confetti-ball-balloon), I just enabled [markdown.it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it) at Meta. It is an excellent [CommonMark](http://commonmark.org/) compliant engine. I expect quite a few edges to be found during this period of testing. Do not open bugs about the new Engine, just reply here. I/we will be updating the top post here with the list of issues and striking out stuff as it is fixed. Current known issues (to be fixed)white_check_mark Onebox vanishes after you start typing and works not-super consistently white_check_mark pending…

Rebaked the OP and all looks A-OK ™
