Quotation source

Quarkdown allows a blockquote to have a citation source.

In general, if the quote ends with a single-item unordered list, that list item is set as the citation source. Hence, the source can be specified using any of the supported unordered list bullets: -, *, +, although it's suggested to use -.

> To be, or not to be, that is the question.
> - William Shakespeare
Result: Shakespeare

The layout and aesthetics are handled by the current theme.


The source may contain inline content (including function calls):

> Failure's not an option. It's just a step.
> - Dwayne **The Rock** Johnson
Result: The Rock

Any kind of blockquote may have a source:

>> You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
>> - Wayne Gretzky
> - Michael Scott
Result: Michael Scott

Typed quotes may have sources too:
