A standoff between the site and some of its most devoted users exposes an existential dilemma.

Not quite I think. I believe this uses markdown, which just uses the > at the beginning of a line

> This is a quote

should become

This is a quote

And if you need more lines, you just keep symboling

> 1
> 2
> 3

    And I believe you can do a multi line quote with 3:

    >>> hello darkness my old friend
    I've come to speak with you again
    More
    Lines

    hello darkness my old friend
    I've come to speak with you again
    More
    Lines

    Unless I'm wrong and this isn't actually working

    Hmm well that looks like it worked too well

    Nah, multi-line is just

    > line 1
line 2
line 3

    line 1
    line 2
    line 3

    You only need multiple > if you want paragraphs:

    > paragraph 1

> paragraph 2

    paragraph 1

    paragraph 2
