Blockquote Formatting — Markdown Quotes in One Click
In markdown syntax, a quote is written by placing a '>' at the start of a line. Editing many lines by hand is tedious, so this tool automatically prefixes every line of your pasted text with '>' to produce a proper blockquote. The result works as-is in almost any service that renders markdown — blog posts, GitHub READMEs, Notion pages, Discord, and Slack messages.
Features:
- Converts multi-line text in one pass
- Supports nested quotes from level 1 to 3 (>, >>, >>>)
- Keeps empty lines to preserve paragraph breaks
- One-click copy of the result
Use cases:
- Inserting quotes into blog posts or GitHub docs
- Quoting the original message in an email or chat reply
- Organizing markdown notes in Notion or Obsidian
- Writing re-quoted replies on community forums
All conversion happens in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server.
