I have an answer that I want to use a block quote to cite and outside reference. That reference is a bulleted list.

Pretty sure I have seen this before but I cannot find anyone using it.

How can I use a numbered or bulleted list inside block quotes?

You don't need HTML:

  • a markdown
  • list in quotes

Even with numbers:

  1. more
  2. less

    The blank line before the beginning of the list is critical.

  • FYI, on Reddit, the comment preview won't allow this (it appears to not work), but when you actually submit the comment, it does (it works as in the above answer).
