Multiple quotes do not add up to a singular blockquote if there are empty lines in between

[TLINDEN]

Description:

If you want to quote a text consisting of multiple paragraphs (that is, sentences delimited by empty lines), the quoted lines do not add up into a singular quote. Rather the quoted empty line[s] shows the > character and it renders the whole thing as multiple separate quotes.

> I will not use abbrev.
> 
> I will not use abbrev.
> 
> I will not use abbrev.

I also tried to append a space to the bracket: > with the same result.

I would like to work on the issue.

This is a 'bug' but not sure whether it is fixable without side effects.

If people want to work on something then you can go straight ahead - issues are never assigned.

I have referred it to the team but doubt it will get much attention.

I have been working on this issue for a few days, and I found out that its solution lies in making changes to the grammar.pegjs file. But whenever I make valid changes to that file, the app crashes. would greatly appreciate your help.

This is not the place to be asking for coding/server help.

Please use the forums or https://open.rocket.chat for that.

Raised a PR for it.

This issue has been nagging for a very long time, great to see a fix was proposed.

Any plans to merge/integrate?
