[Visually pleasing posts: How to improve your Markdown writing on SN](https://stacker.news/items/468845/r/Design_r)

We link to a Markdown guide here:

See section about [quoting text](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#quoting-text):

```
> this is a quote

this is not a quote
```

_I used ``` (three backticks) for this [code block](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#quoting-code)._

_If you're on desktop, you can also go to https://stacker.news/items/715844/edit (append `/edit` to the URL) as kind of a hack to see the raw formatting._

No worries, anything is welcome in the @saloon!

Sorry, I know this isn't the topic of conversation, but I have a question: how do you quote what someone else writes like this? I'm just entering staker saloon to ask this question, and well, I found your example.
