Is There a Problem with Nested Quotes?

Here’s a post in which nesting a quote seems to work:

Prophet-leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Dies

Here’s a post in which it doesn’t seem to work:

Prophet-leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Dies

The people at Discourse seem to have recognized this issue:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/nested-quotes-will-never-parse-correctly/13950

https://meta.discourse.org/t/strange-nested-quoting-behaviour/18100

https://meta.discourse.org/t/formatting-issue-if-quoted-post-contains-more-than-one-quote/20355/4

The third Discourse link, the one immediately above, seems to indicate they did something about the problem.

If this is just an occasional quirk, or if it’s not considered a problem, or if I’m simply wrong about whether there’s a problem, I don’t mind if the topic is Temped or deleted.

I’ve had this problem, too…

I fix it by using preformatted text, so it looks like this:

It’s not pretty… But it gets the point across

I think so! Here’s the code from the first post:

[quote="Andrew0409, post:3, topic:166191, full:true"]
[quote="BiggusDickus, post:2, topic:166191"]
I don’t see how the Latter-day Sainters particularly stand out when compared to organized religions in general.

And the second:

[quote="nc47, post:22, topic:166191"]
You have never done business with Mormons as a woman if you think they consistently engender “Christ-like behavior”.

Do you have a personal experience, or did you hear something on the internet?

Well, not so quick, sorry about that really. And no apologies needed. I’m a teacher, I like questions :slight_smile:
