Blockquote does not work in NSAttributedString

[jdisho]

Hello 👋,

I am having an issue with blockquote (>), which does not render when I use NSAttributedString

What did you do?

private let markdownString = """
    The quote

    > Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known

    has been ascribed to Carl Sagan.
    """

let down = Down(markdownString: markdownString)
let attrString = try! down.toAttributedString()

textView.attributedText = attrString

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to see something like this:

What happened instead?

However, I see this:

I spoke too soon, and missed that you were rendering an attributed string.

I think for this scenario you'd need to render the blockquote yourself by parsing the attributed string styling (i.e. https://stackoverflow.com/a/46164623/308315). Attributed strings aren't well handled in terms of what happens under-the-hood since it's not converting the HTML string properly. This is more an issue you'd have to file with Apple

e.g. the rendered HTML is

<p>The quote</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>has been ascribed to Carl Sagan.</p>\n

and attributed string's view doesn't render the blockquote.

FYI, you can customize this more using the new AST API: #132

FYI: this is further possible via the default Styler via #177
