Considering that English.SE is about language, I think there should be a fancier quote formatting for short quotes. (Like a huge quote mark in the background. - This will emphasize the concept of quote.)

  • We've had fancy quote formatting since the day the new design was launched, over three weeks ago.

    @Martha: This question only got pushed to the top because I tagged it "status-completed", and so it appeared to some to be a new question. At the time it was asked, the question was relevant.

I think this is a good idea. It should be fairly simple to implement, and could help users.

Edit:

As per Mitch's comment below, fancy quote thingy here.

  • To see the fancy quote formatting, start a line with ">" in a question or answer. This is explained under blockquotes on the markdown editing help page.
