The following rules define [block quotes]:

1. **Basic case.** If a string of lines *Ls* constitute a sequence
of blocks *Bs*, then the result of prepending a [block quote
of blocks *Bs*, then the result of prepending the same [block quote
marker] to the beginning of each line in *Ls*
is a [block quote](#block-quotes) containing *Bs*.
is a [block quote](#block-quotes) containing *Bs*. If some lines in *Ls*
are [blank lines](@), then any block quote marker may be used on these
blank lines without affecting the interpretation of which block quote
marker was prepended.

Indentation is determined by the shortest marker (on a non-blank line):

```````````````````````````````` example
>- - asdf
>
> - sdfg
.
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
<p>asdf</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>sdfg</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
````````````````````````````````


The following is equivalent to the above (but now using the longer marker):

```````````````````````````````` example
> - - asdf
>
> - sdfg
.
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
<p>asdf</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>sdfg</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

List within a block quote, with the first item indented by three spaces:

```````````````````````````````` example
> 1. a
>2. b
.
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
````````````````````````````````


The shortest marker might not occur on the first line, meaning four spaces is too many:
```````````````````````````````` example
> 1. a
>2. b
.
<blockquote>
<pre><code>1. a
</code></pre>
<ol start="2">
<li>b</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
````````````````````````````````


The `>` characters can be indented 1-3 spaces:
