| Mar 22, 2020 at 2:49 | comment | added | bad_coder | @Mari-LouA just a curious note: the yellow highlighter is used in several high circulation newspapers. It's efficient, as a design choice I saw it starting being used precisely when printed newspapers were thrown into a sales crisis by the internet. I still use fluorescent highlighter in my personal notebook, what's not to like about it? A mild/cold color may be more pleasing, but do we want to take "warmth" from our posts? Worth noting: it was the only color posters could use...Sigh* | |

This is a bad example because the subheadings (underlined with “-”) punctuate your answer at a high level, and thereby frame / delimit the block quotes. And, while I dislike the new block quote format, I find myself getting used to it very quickly. | |
| Mar 18, 2020 at 4:29 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | Maybe I haven’t had enough caffeine yet today, but I’m having trouble understanding some of the arguments on this page. Are you intentionally undermining your own position? Because you say that a “highly prestigious” American newspaper “occasionally … uses the single gray bar to distinguish quotations from the rest of the article”; that seems to suggest that the gray bar can be expected to be self-explanatory to users with no IT / engineering background. … (Cont’d) | |
