Blockquotes are helpful for quoting people or texts.
I'm a blockquote. And I'm part of the same blockquote
I'm not part of a blockquote
And I'm a totally separate blockquote
You can force content to start on a new line by ending the preceding line with two or more trailing spaces. For example, here we denote trailing whitespace with bullets •
You don't want to sell me death sticks
You want to go home and rethink your life
This trick is applicable to most markdown elements - not just blockquotes.
