Hey guys, I recently upgraded to Ghost 2.x and I have to say, in general I like the idea of the new editor, but it also very much confuses me and I am not sure if this is “by design”, if it is a bug or if I am just not in the right mindset. I hope the forums can help me sort out some of that confusion. Here we go: When I start a new post, and I have prepared a text in Markdown, I can copy and paste this text into the editor. If I do so, the editor automatically renders the Markdown and becomes some kind of a visual rich-text editor. But then I cannot add another card at the bottom. With the new card approach, I would have expected this richt-text editor is just another card of the type “rich-text”, but it seems to disable the new editor mode. Which is cool, just unexpected. So I post my prepared text into the editor, save it as a page and everything is rendered as I expect it to be rendered. After the initial confusion, everything seems peachy and my blockquote looks like I would have expected it to look: ```
This is a test. I am a quote, y'all

I am just a header

Disregard this text right now

[...]
``` In this example my CSS works fine, my quotation marks are inserted before and after the blockquote. All is peachy! Now I am playing around with the Markdown card. Again, I post the text into it, all looks good until I save and take a look at the result. Now the same text is rendered like this: ```

This is a test. I am a quote, y'all

I am just a header

Disregard this text right now

``` This messes up my CSS that inserts quotation marks before and after the blockquote element and produces output like this: ![27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/0/011ee87bf76286fb42f7b76d89fa4f628e6225ce.png) Is this a bug? Is this expected behaviour? Can I only chose one editor more and do I have to stick with it? Having extra CSS code for both editor modes seems a bit redundant. Is there something I dont see? Thanks in advance! * * * Update: I just realized that this is the case for images too, not only for blockquote. Also while upgrading from 1.x to 2.x Ghost automatically chose a Markdown card for every post instead of migrating the post into the new format. Not sure if that is intended or a potential issue. ---

Imo, it seems to be an issue. As the markdown card was presented like a way to support old posts (already written in markdown), I think koenig cards and markdown cards should be rendered the same way. I have more than 155 old posts. Currently to have a coherent rendering behavior in my blog, I only have two solutions: - updating all the 155 existing posts to transform them from markdown to the new rich-text version - using only the markdown card even for new posts ---

Yes, that is my predicament as well. You either have to stick with Markdown cards or convert everything into the new format for the Koenig cards. As a workaround I manually converted all posts to the new format that contained blockquotes. Unfortunately I am a footnote user, which is not supported by the new editor (yet). So I either convert the footnotes manually, as described in a forum post, or use Markdown cards that have this rendering issue. I wonder if it makes sense to file an issue on Github for this. Would love to hear @Kevin thoughts about this and how best to proceed. ---

I guess I’ll file an issue on Github. Should I sent you the issue ID, @Mindsers? ---

Yeah! Definitely. I think posting it here can help other persons knowing there is an open issue on this. ---
