Blockquoting on the wiki

 

I was trying to quote a piece of Qt docs, but the current blockquote style is not good for that (while it’s very nice, it seems more suitable for a magazine or so than for a technical wiki :-)):

The source was text → blockquote → other text. Do you think it’s worth changing it into an “inline” quote, like the forum does?

Those are the two bq designs we have, I agree the forum one makes the most sense for the wiki. Adding to the list.
