Hello,

I wonder how to solve usage of double quotes sentences for continued paragraphs, iow. I have need for something like this:

== Test heading

This is a quote:
____
"`This is foo sentence.

And here is the bar one.`'' 
____

Some more text here.

Now I wonder whether it's possible to have the above two sentences within a quote enclosed with the double-quotes with AsciiDoc(tor) markup?

I want to use AsciiDoc(tor) markup with static-site-genarators - testing with Golang-based Hugo as well as with Python-based Nikola - and it's strange to see that the above example works with both Markdown and reStructuredText, practically out of the box:

rst

Test heading
============

This is a quote:

    "This is foo sentence.

    And here is the bar one."

Some more text here.

markdown

# Test heading #

This is a quote:

> "This is foo sentence.
>
> And here is the bar one."

Some more text here.
