### Example 191
> # Foo
> bar
> baz
### Example 192
The spaces after the `>` characters can be omitted:
># Bar
>bar
> baz
### Example 193
The `>` characters can be indented 1-3 spaces:
> # Baz
> bar
> baz
### Example 194
Four spaces gives us a code block:
> # Qux
> bar
> baz
### Example 195
The Laziness clause allows us to omit the `>` before paragraph continuation text:
> # Quux
> bar
baz
### Example 196
A block quote can contain some lazy and some non-lazy continuation lines:
> bar
baz
> foo
### Example 197
Laziness only applies to lines that would have been continuations of paragraphs had they been prepended with block quote markers. For example, the `>` cannot be omitted in the second line of
> foo
---
without changing the meaning.
### Example 198
Similarly, if we omit the `>` in the second line then the block quote ends after the first line:
> - foo
- bar
### Example 199
For the same reason, we can’t omit the `>` in front of subsequent lines of an indented or fenced code block:
> foo
bar
### Example 200
> ```
foo
```
<blockquote>
<pre><code></code></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>foo</p>
<pre><code></code></pre>
### Example 201
> foo
- bar
<blockquote>
<p>foo
- bar</p>
</blockquote>
### Example 202
A block quote can be empty:
>
### Example 203
>
>
>
### Example 204
A block quote can have initial or final blank lines:
>
> foo
>
### Example 205
A blank line always separates block quotes:
> foo
> bar
### Example 206
Consecutiveness means that if we put these block quotes together, we get a single block quote:
> foo
> bar
### Example 207
To get a block quote with two paragraphs, use:
> foo
>
> bar
### Example 208
Block quotes can interrupt paragraphs:
foo
> bar
### Example 209
In general, blank lines are not needed before or after block quotes:
> aaa
***
> bbb
### Example 210
However, because of laziness, a blank line is needed between a block quote and a following paragraph:
> bar
baz
### Example 211
> bar
baz
### Example 212
> bar
>
baz
### Example 213
It is a consequence of the Laziness rule that any number of initial `>`s may be omitted on a continuation line of a nested block quote:
> > > foo
bar
### Example 214
>>> foo
> bar
>>baz
### Example 215
When including an indented code block in a block quote, remember that the block quote marker includes both the `>` and a following space. So five spaces are needed after the `>`:
> code
> not code
