Something that annoys me a long time: When quoting a post which contains a code
block, the codeblock is not rendered correct. This branch will fix this.
The approach is to exchange the syntax for quoted code and use the normal
markdown syntax for this. E.g. a quoted codeblock looks like this:
> ~~~~
> code line 1
> code line 2
> ~~~~
This will be changed into:
> code line 1
> code line 2
The line with tildes ('~') get removed and all lines between get additionally 4
spaces at the beginning. After markdown runs over this, the code block will be
rendered correctly.
I am not happy with my code, but right now i don't know how to do it better. I
tried also using regular expressions, but i didn't get it to work. Suggestions
welcome :-)
