Quote inside a github-flavoured markdown list

Question

I would like to add a quote inside a list (ordered or unordered). Indentation matters. I would like to have the quotation (blockquote) highlighting style, not code. Indenting the > sign removes the quote highlighting.

Answer 1

This works for me:

* One

    > Quote

* Two
* Three

which renders (with GitHub styling) like:

• One

  Quote

• Two

• Three

Make sure you are using four spaces to indent your > , have one to three spaces between > and your quote text, and blank lines before and after the quote.

This also works with numbered lists, with the above representing a single list with three items.
