Has anyone else seen this? The manual says the Markdown component supports Blockquote, but it does not render correctly. It doesn’t indent them or put the vertical bar. It is actually just making them italic. Also it does not render correctly in the CMS markdown files either. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/4/741ff99b0668c59c73fe5c2f8cca704836f61676.png) ---

I just tested this in one of my projects, and it is behaving correctly. You control the display of the quotes in the Typography setting in the Theme studio. I was able to adjust the padding, etc., without problems. The only issue I found is that it doesn’t respect the color settings from the typography setting. Color is always BLACK. Of course, you have to apply your typography settings to the markdown component where you are using it. ---

I tried to override the typography settings in the theme which was only Article. It wouldn’t change the color. If I add a custom typography, it lets you change the color. Not sure why it won’t change it in the default typography. ---

You typically have to make an override or create your own typography settings. You cannot modify the default settings. ---

I discovered something. When you create your own typography settings, if you set a color for Paragraph, it overrides the color set in Quotes. If you leave the Paragraph color set to none, the Quote color works. Also, I had to make a custom Typography template because I tried to make the change by overriding the “article” Theme Typography and it still wouldn’t apply the color even if I removed the color from the Paragraph setting. @dan @ben ---

That is clearly a bug that should be reported.
