Minimal reproduction:
```
[quote]>
>[/quote]
```
produces:
> [@](#):
>
> > undefined\>
Now fixed:
[quote]\>
> [/quote]

Out of curiosity, what should happen?
if I post:
```plaintext
[quote]>
>[/quote]
```
then I see the “undefined” error, but if I use a matched set of `< >` then it’s not so bad
```plaintext
[quote]<
>[/quote]
```
becomes:
[quote]\<
> [/quote]

It’s \> because that’s the Markdown blockquote character.

> 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…
