title: How to put syntax highlighting inside a blockquote in Markdown
body: <p>I want to have a code block with syntax highlighting inside a blockquote in Markdown.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen <a href="https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/314122/is-there-a-way-to-put-code-blocks-in-block-quotes">this</a> related post on Stack Overflow Meta about how to do it on Stack Overflow. And apparently that works fine. It doesn't appear to be Markdown however and certainly doesn't work on GitHub.</p>
  
  <p>I spent some time googling for other ideas with no luck.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible?</p>
