Embedding blockquotes

Help
1

I start a blockquote with a ‘>’ and write some text. I then start a new line with >>, and the new text appears as a blockquote within the original blockquote, as a level 2 blockquote.
However, if I then edit the line to one ‘>’ this does not result in returning to level 1 blockquote.
In other words I cannot embed a blockquote to a blockquote, I can only piggyback it.
I wonder if there is a workaround, since I really need this, especially combined with callouts. So for example I could write:

[!quote] quoting something
blah, blah,

[!note]- a note about that
blah, blah, continuing the note…
note ended, continuing the quote

Any ideas? or possibility of implementation?

i believe what u need is an “empty line” within the blockquote exactly after the 2nd blockquote. here’s an example

> [!quote] quoting something
> blah, blah,
>> [!note]- a note about that
>> blah, blah, continuing the note…
>
> continuing the quote on the 1st level quote
> blah, blah

the single quote without any text is important to indicate the end of nested blockquote/callout
