Bug: BlockQuote Markdown is not rendering properly

[devanshkansagra]

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.

Steps to reproduce:

Type in message box

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

Expected behavior:

I'd rather expect to get a singular blockquote and no > characters shown.

Actual behavior:

Hey @devanshkansagra , as far as I know, quoting a message uses a separate quote functionality tied to each message, and Markdown like '>' isn't used. So, it would render as plain text. Could you please clarify if you're referring to something else?"

Hey @abirc8010, thanks for asking. The quoting you mean is the replying of the message. and this quoting is refered to markdown. if you check the github also, and type the message like I mentioned in the issue it will be quoted. So if you write single message like this "> Hii" it will be quoted. but there was inconsitency in terms of multiple messages. so I fixed this. you said that it renders as a plain text, I will add a border to the box to differentiate this as a quoted message. You can check this issue 33493 on RocketChat main repo.
