## Syntax: TAB defines quote

> To quote a paragraph, just prefix it by a TAB character. All the lines of the paragraph must begin with a TAB.

Any non-tabbed line closes the quote block.

## Nesting: Creating deeper quotes

> The number of leading TABs identifies the quote block depth. This is quote level 1.

> > With two TABs, we are on the quote level 2.

> > > The more TABs, more deep is the quote level.

> > > > There isn't a limit.

## Nesting: Reverse nesting works

> > > > This quote starts at level 4.

> > > Then its depth is decreased.

> > Counting down, one by one.

> Until the level 1.

## Nesting: Random count

> > > Unlike lists, any quote block is independent, not part of a tree.

> The TAB count don't need to be incremental by one.

> > > > The nesting don't need to follow any rule.

> > Quotes can be opened and closed in any way.

> > > > > You choose.

## Nesting: When not supported

> Some targets (as sgml) don't support the nesting of quotes. There is only one quote level.

> > In this case, no matter how much TABs are used to define the quote block, it always will be level 1.

## Syntax: Spaces after TAB

> Spaces AFTER the TAB character are allowed. But be careful, it can be confusing.

## Invalid: Spaces before TAB

Spaces BEFORE the TAB character invalidate the mark. It's not quote.

## Invalid: Paragraphs inside

> Paragraph breaks inside a quote aren't possible.

> This sample are two separated quoted paragraphs, not a quote block with two paragraphs inside.

## Closing: EOF closes the open block

> The end of the file (EOF) closes the currently open quote block.
