a blockquote after a list gets nested into two <blockquote> tags

[Gary Wilson <gary.wilson@…>]

This text:

a list:
 * item 1
 * item 2

  a blockquote after a list

turns into:

<p>
a list:
</p>
<ul><li>item 1
</li><li>item 2
</li></ul><blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>
a blockquote after a list
</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>

Same thing happens for a blockquote following a blockquote following a list:

a list:
 * item 1
 * item 2

  a blockquote after a list

  a blockquote after a blockquote after a list

turns into:

<p>

a list:
</p>
<ul><li>item 1
</li><li>item 2
</li></ul><blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>
a blockquote after a list
</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>
a blockquote after a blockquote after a list
</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>

Right, there should be only one level of indentation in the quote.

WikiEngine refactoring and related fixes postponed.

#6887 provides additional examples and discussion about the expected behavior of blank lines in block level markup.

Note that this makes it impossible to include a list in a blockquote:

  This is a quoted list:
   * item1
   * item2

I expect it to be roughly rendered as:

<blockquote>
<p>This is a quoted list:</p>
<ul>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

But is instead translated to:

<blockquote>
<p>This is a quoted list:</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
</ul>

Example:

This is a quoted list:

• item1
• item2

Perhaps a simple workaround/fix would be to provide a {{{#!quote processor to quote arbitrary markup?

In response to my own comment, a current workaround is to apply custom style to a div element such that it mimics a blockquote.

File site.css:

div.blockquote {
  /* copy-paste the blockquote style here. */
}

In wiki:

{{{#!div class="blockquote"
Your wiki markup here.
}}}

Less elegant/more cryptic than a native alternative though.
