blockquote/"> " and paragraph interaction?

[Conal Elliott]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 809 bytes --]

When I use "> " in markdown to denote a blockquote, the blockquote content
is sometimes wrapped in <p>...</p> in html output, and sometimes not.  The
difference seems to be whether or not the "> ..." material is followed by a
blank line in the markdown source.  If a blank line then <p>, and if none
then none.  Is this behavior intentional?  Does anyone know the
rationale(s)?

Can you give some examples?

Following up on an old thread.  Here's an example markdown file, foo.md:

 <blockquote>
fiddly

> here is a nested quote
 </blockquote>

And pandoc's conversion:

>bash-3.2$ pandoc foo.md
<blockquote><p
>fiddly</p
><blockquote
>here is a nested quote</blockquote>
</blockquote
>bash-3.2$

Note that the nested quote has no wrapping paragraph tag.

Now I add a blank line after the nested quote:

 <blockquote>
fiddly

> here is a nested quote
 </blockquote>

And convert again:

>bash-3.2$ pandoc foo.md
<blockquote><p
>fiddly</p
><blockquote
><p
  >here is a nested quote</p
  ></blockquote
></blockquote>
bash-3.2$

This time, pandoc wraps the nested quote in paragraph tags.
