And note that pandoc allows you to create two blockquotes if
you leave blank space between,
Which is clearly in violation of the syntax rules [1].
Fair enough, but I for one feel this means there is something not quite
right with the "canonical" syntax rules here: They *should* have
included a method for letting separate blockquotes follow each other
without them ending up merged into what looks like one long blockquote,
and without having to fall back on HTML.
Besides, as I said, I'm grateful for you guys to point out two methods
(non-breaking space vs. comment) and their respective output. The narrow
break generated by the "comment" method is what I had in mind when I
asked about this.
However, I still think that it's pretty counterintuitive: Shouldn't a
comment in HTML be just that, i.e., stricly a *comment* without any
effect whatsoever on what the rendered page looks like?
Again, on a pragmatic level the "comment" method solves my problem just
fine, but it does strike me as a bit "quick and dirty".
