"A Florida woman who has been living off the grid has had her home declared 'Unsanitary' and has until March to connect her off-the-grid home to the city water system, or face eviction."

[ED Note: Ordinances such as this are not uncommon. My own father once had a property condemned on this basis while he was in the midst of a billing dispute with a utility.]

    Though I've retrained myself to do that, I still miss just "quote" (sniffle). Typing the extra "block" is the kind of stuff that matters to us nerds.

      I'm sure this will be fixed in time, at least if it's reported on the bug tracker.

        <blockquote> is HTML. <quote> isn't.
        I wouldn't consider non-inclusion of <quote> a bug, or adding it a fix. If anything, add support for <q>. That's standard HTML, and it's even shorter!

        Anyway, if you're too lazy to type <blockquote> you can also simply copy/paste it from "Allowed HTML" below.
