Additional information
One way I think would improve the experience of editing blockquotes/callouts in the live preview mode, is to treat the contents of the blockquote/callout as its own mini-editor (ignoring the >
in the begging of lines) and then apply the >
s back appropriately.
This is the main reason why I don’t (but would like to) use callouts in Obsidian, as the >
get in the way when copying or pasting.
