If I want to give a quotation, I can set it out as a block-quote and it looks beautiful:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; / Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
But if I want two such quotations in a row, I don’t know how to separate them. I’ve tried several options, and none works: just separating them by an empty line
> Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.
> And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
merges to a single block-quote (even if more separating lines are added):
Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
Adding a non-breaking space on the separating line merges even more:
> In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
[non-breaking space here]
> Call me Ishmael.
makes it a single line:
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Call me Ishmael.
Adding an empty line after the non-breaking space makes it identical to the first example. Adding an empty line before the non-breaking space
> Oh Romeo, Romeo, wherefore are thou Romeo?
[non-breaking space here]
> To be or not to be, that is the question.
looks perfect in the preview, but leaves a full blank line in the final rendering — much too large a gap:
Oh Romeo, Romeo, wherefore are thou Romeo?
To be or not to be, that is the question.
Is there a better option than any of these?
