In comments for news, quotation doesn't seem to work properly. The syntax I'm talking about is this:
> quoted text
my answer to the quoted text
|
Instead of just the quoted text being marked as quoted, the whole comment gets marked as quoted, including my answer to the quoted text. I feel like this is a feature that would be nice to have working in comments since there is relatively often need to quote certain parts of the news article. I also know this is a feature that should ideally work since IIRC the comment section supports Markdown and this is exactly how you use Markdown.

On another note, a similar problem seems to apply to switching to preformatted text in forum posts:
- I typed one line as I usually do and pressed Enter.
- I changed to preformatted text and pressed Enter.
- I switched from preformatted style to paragraphed style.
- The preformatted text switched to paragraphed (or possibly unformatted).
The regardless of what I would type or selected after the paragraphed text, my style selection would apply to everything after the first line. I had to edit the source code to get this post to format correctly.

EDIT: Another nice thing would be if the post actually looked something like it does in the editor. I did have preformatted text in the editor but not in the post itself after I posted it, so I edited the post to format... more clearly, at the very least, if not as I intended. I think the horizontal line is another one that doesn't work properly, and I think I've encountered others that don't work either but can't remember those anymore.
