This rule is triggered when two blockquote blocks are separated by nothing except for a blank line:
> This is a blockquote
> which is immediately followed by
> this blockquote. Unfortunately
> In some parsers, these are treated as the same blockquote.
To fix this, ensure that any blockquotes that are right next to each other have some text in between:
> This is a blockquote.
And Jimmy also said:
> This too is a blockquote.
Alternatively, if they are supposed to be the same quote, then add the blockquote symbol at the beginning of the blank line:
> This is a blockquote.
>
> This is the same blockquote.
Rationale: Some Markdown parsers will treat two blockquotes separated by one or more blank lines as the same blockquote, while others will treat them as separate blockquotes.
