[JFWooten4]

Summary

• add a first-class QUOTE blockquote type
• accept both SOURCE and SRC attribution markers
• render the attribution as an italic, right-aligned em-dash citation
• preserve inline Markdown, links, and ordinary document footnote references in quotation text and sources
• support quote-local source footnotes whose original labels remain independent and may be discontinuous
• render quote-local footnotes inside the quotation, between the quoted text and source attribution
• inherit the existing configurable blockquote colors, backgrounds, borders, corner radius, and footnote typography
• document the syntax and add CLI, web, typography, numbering, and rendered-PDF coverage

Basic syntax

> [!QUOTE]
> The important thing is not to stop questioning.
> [!SOURCE] Albert Einstein

[!SRC] is accepted as a case-insensitive shorthand for [!SOURCE].

Preserving source footnotes

> [!QUOTE]
> First quoted passage.[^4] Later quoted passage.[^17]
> [^4]: The source's original fourth footnote.
> [^17]: The source's original seventeenth footnote.
> [!SOURCE] Author, *Work*

The local labels 4 and 17 render unchanged inside the quotation and do not consume numbers from the document's ordinary sequential footnotes. Definitions outside the quotation retain the existing document-footnote behavior.

Why

Ordinary blockquotes do not distinguish quoted text, preserved source notes, and attribution. This syntax keeps those parts explicit in Markdown while producing a continuous professional quotation treatment in the PDF.

Validation

• 119 tests pass
• verified CLI and web PDF rendering
• visually inspected discontinuous source notes 4 and 17 inside the quotation before the attribution
• confirmed an ordinary document footnote remains independently numbered 1 in the page footer
• confirmed source markers and local note definitions are omitted from literal PDF text
