# Markdown Blockquotes ## Basic Syntax Add the `>` symbol followed by a **space** at the start of a paragraph. You only need to use `>` on the first line, and the rest of the content will be automatically included in the blockquote. ``` > I love Spurs > I bet they're going to win the championship. ``` > I love Spurs > I bet they're going to win the championship. ## Nested Blockquotes Blockquotes support nesting. Use one `>` for the outermost layer, two `>` for the first nested layer, and so on. ``` > I love Spurs >> I bet they're going to win the championship. ``` > I love Spurs >> I bet they're going to win the championship. ## Use Lists inside Blockquotes > Use lists in blockquotes > 1. First item > 2. Second item > + First item > + Second item > + Third item ## Use Blockquotes inside Lists To insert a blockquote within a list item, indent **four spaces** before the `>` symbol. Here is an example of blockquotes inside lists: ``` * First item > I love Spurs. > I bet they're going to win the championship. * Second item ``` * First item > I love Spurs. > I bet they're going to win the championship. * Second item ## Other Elements in Blockquotes Blockquotes support nearly all other Markdown elements, so you can display various types of content inside them.
