Blockquotes not working when posting questions on this site
Dear Splunk,
When typing a question on this site, the editor says I can blockquote by using a greater than symbol before the text. In fact, there's a button for it in the editor's toolbar.
> This text should be blockquoted.
I can see the blockquoted text in my editing preview. However, when I post the question the blockquoted part is no longer blockquoted. Instead, the greater than symbols are displayed.
It'd be great if you could fix this bug.

Blockquotes do seem to work now:
this is blockquoted text
I agree that there are some weird markdown issues on this site, I know the team is looking at figuring them out and documenting any restrictions.

Interesting. It works for answers, but not for the question. When I clicked the button to submit the original question, I briefly saw something like "gt;" appear where the greater than symbol was. Maybe there's some javascript that's trying to sanitize the input and it's clobbering the greater than symbol.

Markdown has been broken for months and every few days it changes a little bit. I have never seen anything like it.
