Use only 4 underscores for asciidoc blockquote output from markdown by default or with option

[cirosantilli]

pando 2.1.1:

> my long blockquote with no line wrapping style

Then:

pandoc -t a.adoc a.md

Gives:

______________________________________________
my long blockquote with no line wrapping style
______________________________________________

but I'd rather have:

____
my long blockquote with no line wrapping style
____

which is more maintainable.

This would also be consistent with the behaviour for code blocks, which use only four dots .... always.

Everyone's going to have different preferences for this kind of thing. I'd rather not add more complexity to pandoc by including options for little stylistic things like this. If I could be persuaded that the majority share your preferences, I might change it.

@jgm I am for this change, because current code uses wrong number of "_" when line wrapping is enabled:

$ pandoc -f muse -t asciidoc
    word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word
^D
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
word word word word word word word word word word word word word word
word word word word word word word word
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I see. Well, I'd have no objections to using four underscores, if other asciidoc users don't object.

I second this and would like to extend this to all kinds of blocks in asciidoc. I'd also propose include tables in this and make the delimiter |==== there - since columns are not aligned anyway (which is a good thing, because it reduces maintenance when editing), having the full-length table delimiters doesn't really make it more readable.
