I’m making my own Markdown/MDX replacement. Just added an “about” attribute to my blockquotes today. Pretty happy with the way things are shaping up.

    So uh. How do you end the quote?

      huh, yeah, that’s not at all obvious is it 😜

      The format is made up with sections that start with either the beginning of the file or an empty line followed by two dashes and a section name. Attributes are zero or more lines under the initial starting header with key/value pairs. Most sections have content, but some don’t (e.g. metadata) which goes below and continues until you hit another section header or the end of the file . A page might look like:

      -- title
      
      This Is A Page
      
      
      -- blockquote
      -- by: Some Person
      
      This is what they said
      
      With some more lines
      
      
      -- metadata
      -- date: 2023-12-31T18:02:07
