Multiline Blockquotes

[MARTINATINTRAVIS]

Hello,

i am trying to figure out how multiline blockquote should work when using markdown as the source.
When I try the example from the manual:

> This is a block quote. This
> paragraph has two lines.
>
> 1. This is a list inside a block quote.
> 2. Second item.

The output generated puts "This is a block quote. This paragraph has two lines." into one line.

I tried this offline with 3.2 and pfd as output (i tried several pdf engines).
I than tried to reproduce this on the pandoc demo page (https://pandoc.org/try/) with html as output.
This give me the following output:

<blockquote>
<p>This is a block quote. This paragraph has two lines.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>This is a list inside a block quote.</li>
<li>Second item.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>

Is there something I am missing or is this a bug?

I can hack this using > | for blockquotes, but this is not a good solution.
Example:

> | This is a block quote. This
> | paragraph has two lines.
> |
> | 1. This is a list inside a block quote.
> | 2. Second item.

give the following output:

<blockquote>
<div class="line-block">This is a block quote. This<br />
paragraph has two lines.<br />
<br />
1. This is a list inside a block quote.<br />
2. Second item.</div>
</blockquote>

Does anyone have an idea how to get this working properly?
If any vital information is missing please let me know!

By default line breaks in markdown are reflowable spaces. You can change that globally by using -f markdown+hard_line_breaks.

If you only want this for the block quote, then perhaps just use explicit line breaks (\ at end of line).

Thank you for your answer. To me the example in the Docs was just really misleading.
