What Amfora does tries to stay in line with the gemtext idea that each line standson its own. So quote lines are wrapped, and "
" is put in front of each one. Butif there is another quote line below, that's considered a separate quote line, andis processed separately from the others, it's not made to be part of the previousquote somehow.
So this gemtext:
very long quote line very long quote line very long quote line very long quote line very long quote line
another quote
might be rendered like this:
very long quote line very long quote line very long quote line
very long quote line very long quote line
another quote
What isn't clear is whether subsequent quote lines ought to be
considered as part of the same quote block, ie, say my client surrounds
quotations with " marks. Should these marks surround each line, or
surround an entire block of subsequent quote lines?
Despite what I said above, I think it makes sense for other clients to considerquote lines to be part of the same block. Amfora can get away with ignoring this,but in a GUI client that maybe puts quotes in a box or something? It would lookpretty ugly to separate them, I think.
