Quoted text (blockquote) does not show line breaks
[edit source]The text inside of <blockquote> is shown in one paragraph, regardless of line breaks entered.
Using the visual editor on 3D Printing restrictions and bans#Consumer rights and ownership concerns, I split the quoted text ("3. Complete print traceability...") into two paragraphs (as in the source). The line break was shown while editing, but after saving the page, all the quoted text was put together. If I use "edit source," it shows the line break is there, but the preview does not show it. If I just click regular "edit" then two non-ascii characters that look like carriage returns are shown where the line break should be. I delete those and break up the quoted lines again, but when I click Save changes > Review your changes, the page says "No changes." The same thing is seen on Uber#Databreaches in its quote.

- We've passed this on to the dev. it's a 13 year old mediawiki bug :) we'll try and sort out a fix, however for now the AI's suggested a couple of solutions (I especially like that you can treat it as a poem as a bypass!).
- Use two separate <blockquote> elements instead of one with an internal break — sidesteps the bug entirely.
- Use <p> tags explicitly inside the blockquote, e.g. <blockquote><p>First part.</p><p>Second part.</p></blockquote> — Parsoid generally respects explicit <p> tags even where it won't respect blank-line paragraph breaks.
- Use the <poem> tag inside blockquote if you just want line breaks (not full paragraph spacing): wrapping content in poem tags inside blockquote converts line breaks to br tags reliably.
