@kuberoot

OFF TOPIC, but, how do you do the stand-out quotes like that?

Like this:

Quote

Second paragraph of quote

Note that it's standard markdown syntax, and also that the contents of the quote are also markdown and should support standard formatting (including nesting quotes inside them)

It's been standard since the early days of email and Usenet.

Not entirely sure what you're referring to, but if you mean that it's not only markdown, absolutely - what's immediately relevant here is that it is markdown we're using here, which can be used to look up formatting and is useful to know where else this syntax will work.

Just that that quoting convention has been used forever.
