tl;dr: This is similar to "Quoted replies don’t keep original formatting", but it is not a duplicate.
The initial bug report was closed as a duplicate of https://meta.discourse.org/t/quoted-replies-dont-keep-original-formatting/655/1. However, the bug I reported involved using the quote all feature. The supposed duplicate bug report only claims an issue with the highlight-and-reply technique (quote reply).
Further, the claimed duplicate indicates that it is an issue with returning HTML. However, if you look at the raw of my initial bug report, you will see that there is no HTML preventing the markdown from being processed. As stated previously, this is because I did a quote all, not a quote reply technique.
Here is the raw of the quote which is not displaying correctly:
[quote="abarker, post:1, topic:26029, full:true"]
When quoting a list, it doesn't render correctly in the quote. Here is a simple list:
- This
- is
- a
- list
It will be quoted in a reply to this post to demonstrate the formatting bug.
[/quote]
As you can see, the list does not render as expected. The markdown is ignored in the quote.
There is no reason the list in that quote should not be processed as a valid markdown list. Testing has shown that other markdown in full quote, such as italics, bold, and more, get processed properly, but un-ordered lists do not.
This is a unique bug. It is not a duplicate of "Quoted replies don’t keep original formatting".
