Blockquotes Not Rendering

[rafegoldberg]

Heyyo, loving Parsedown! That said, I've been unable to get v1.6 to correctly recognize and render blockquotes. Here's a snippet from my Markdown:

> A simple button object for use anywhere

Per the Markdown syntax standard, one would expect this to render:

<blockquote>A simple button object for use anywhere</blockquote>

Instead I'm seeing the following:

<p>> A simple button object for use anywhere</p>

I went through Parsedown's source code to see if I could fix it but it's a bit over my head. Please advise!

hm, can u reproduce this at http://parsedown.org/demo

hmmm, good question and strangely enough I can't! Seems to function exactly
as expected, which is great cause it means the issue is on my end
somewhere, but really that only confuses me even more!

Make sure you're not doing something that's converting it to >. This was my problem. All the > quotes had been converted to html entities in the database I was using. It's probably not an issue with Parsedown so much as something with the text you're attempting to parse. I'd check that first.

I have the same problem... But only when I use a blockquote inside a div with markdown="1". Maybe that will help somebody.

Since it didn't appear to be possible to reproduce this issue, I'm going to close this one – please reopen if you can reproduce this with the latest version though.

@bartb it may be the case that your issue related to markdown within HTML is fixed by the changes in #514, which will be included in the next release.
