Bugs / Missing Functionality
Yeah the green theme is outdated, that'll be fixed when we make a real one

double line break, it shows up as a single line break and you have to go back and make it a triple line break to show as a double
it annoys me heavily
This is 100% intentional and I'll fight to the death for it
For 11 years I've dealt with insanely huge gaps below quotes just because I like to format my posts like this:
Code:
[quote]Quote text[/quote]
My response
As opposed to this:
Code:
[quote]Quote text[/quote]
My response
Since the former is much easier to read. So I just made it ignore the <br> tag immediately following a blockquote, meaning both of the above code samples will render identically
My problem is that a double line break makes quotes have waaay too much space below them, even though in the editor it looks like a minimal/appropriate amount of space. It's always annoyed the shit out of me, I guess I never considered a use case for actually wanting a double line break below a quote
> posts should look like how you typed then
This is literally my entire problem. A real double line break is huge compared to what it looks like in the editor
What is the use case for wanting an absurd amount of space below a blockquote. I still can't figure it out
In order to make it look the way it's supposed to you need to sacrifice legible formatting, which is p dumb
Blockquotes already have a bottom margin so in effect a single line break shows up as a double one, meaning a real double line break looks like a triple line break and it's so ugly
The only other fix I'm willing to make is to remove the bottom margin altogether, making it so you need a double line break after a quote in order for there to be any space below it whatsoever

I must not understand what you mean, or vice versa
The absence of at least two line breaks is what makes the post illegible. Then you click submit and it looks perfectly fine, even though in the post editor it looks like there should be absolutely no space below the quote
Two line breaks in the post editor looks just fine, but it ends up looking like three because of the blockquote's bottom margin. 3+ line breaks in the post editor ends up creating extra space as expected, so I don't really understand the problem. Could you post some code samples of formatting you'd like to achieve that is made impossible/difficult by this change?
