[feature-request] Give us markdown that specifies an image should be bordered so that we don't have to use quote blocks for this. I still don't want to see the background go away on quote boxes but this is probably a good idea anyway. Spitballing a possibility: single bang for an image (), double bang for a bordered image(!).

| Feb 20, 2020 at 9:23 | comment | added | terdon | For what it's worth, I have never seen anyone use this trick of quoting to add a border to an image before (maybe it's more common on MSE?) and I have to admit that it looks really ugly to me. The border isn't centered, it is yellow (ugh) and just looks off. I do understand that a border can be useful, but I don't think abusing markdown like this is a good way of getting it. Your suggestion of providing a different way seems like the way to go instead. | |

What about adding a border to all images within blockquotes with a blockquote img { border: 8px solid #fbf2d4 } rule? i.sstatic.net/3ze1N.png
