No, Google does that automatically on occasion, for reasons
that are generally opaque to me. I just unfroze your
message.
Pandoc's 'plain' output tries to reproduce the conventions
used in Project Gutenberg's plain text books. That doesn't
use `>` for quotes; rather, it uses indentation to come
close to the look of an actual printed book, and that's
what we do too.
That's in agreement with what I said in my deleted message.
I don't indentation as better or worse, just different purpose,
and more aesthetically pleasant for citation quotes, just like
in books, but completely equivocated for conversation quotes
that can go many levels deep.
The ` ` is a bug, though, which I'm about to fix.
In markdown you need something between a list and an
indented code block, or the indented block gets interpreted
as a continuation paragraph in the last list item. To
prevent that we insert an HTML comment or (if raw HTML is
disabled) a ` `. But of course this isn't necessary
in `plain` output.
