Two should suffice, IMO.
I always found it extremely annoying that Markdown provides no
way to express multiple consecutive blockquotes, lists or code
blocks, other than by using workarounds like inserting comments
or other crud like `<div style="display:none"></div>`.
I was going to bring code blocks into this discussion as well. The
same thinking applies to both and had been an annouance of mine for
some time as well.
(An added problem with breaking out of code blocks is that
Markdown considers lines consisting only of whitespace to be
blank, so you couldn't have code blocks with consecutive blank
lines in them.)
Which brings us full circle. We have code blocks and blockquotes that
may have multiple line breaks, and we have multiple blocks (code or
quotes) seperated by line breaks. How can markdown know which is
intended? I considered suggesting some "force-end-of-block" marker,
but that just doesn't seem right.
