Blockquote -Quote Block conversion
-
Trying to convert an old regularly updated post written using the classic editor to WP Blocks – seems the new WP Quote Block cannot handle multiple paras It appears as if the new WP Quote Block can only be one para. If you are quoting a section of copy with paras and lists etc the new WP Quote Block keeps the block as html. Below is an example
Reference # (Numbers):
Map images from Campbell's original book have a Plate # and reference No. #. Additional maps, which Campbell described and for which we've now added an image have a reference No. # only. The reference # correlates to the map description which are listed chronologically.
Maps referenced by Shilstone, in 1938, but not included in Campbell's book have been added with a reference # beginning with 'S'. eg. S20 would have been the 20th map on Shilstone's list. All maps post 1873 are from Shilstone's work.
As Moss intended that his work, written 30 years after Campbell, be read in conjunction with Campbell's work, it has been added, in a shaded box, to the referenced map.
Maps without a plate or reference # have been added and inserted chronologically by Jim Webster in 2020 and denoted with a W.
Coloured Maps:
Prior to the 19th century maps were printed in black and white. In some instances hand colouring was added, after the printing, to enhance readability and appearance. If colouring was done, soon after printing, it was called original or contemporary colour. Colours added later were referred to as modern colour.
Laws of Cartobibliography:
- Each printed map is an impression made by the transfer of ink from a unique printing platform or group of platforms (usually woodblock, copper plate or lithographic stone).
- The piece of paper we are looking at is no more than a reflection, literally a mirror-image, of a wooden, metal or stone printing platform, which was present in a particular workshop at a particular time.
The cartobibliographer's primary task is to recount the life history of a printing platform—the intentional and accidental changes made to it—by attempting to place in order a series of impressions pulled from it. - Tony Campbell 'Understanding Engraved Maps'
Would appreciate how to fix this?

Hello @bajanthings,
Thanks for your question.
Just so I understand. The example you gave. Is that what you don’t want or is that what you do want? I’m a little confused about what your main goal is. Sorry.
And, you’re correct with trying to paste text into Gutenberg. You’ll get separate paragraph blocks for each paragraph you paste.
If you use a Quote block, you’ll need to type in your text the first time. Then, you can update that same text anytime after that. You’re also correct that the Quote block actually saves HTML
<p></p>tags to keep the formatting.Not sure if this will help, but you can use a Custom HTML block in combination with
<pre></pre>tags and inline CSS to preserve the formatting.See the screengrab below for an example of both a Custom HTML and a Quote block that I did on my site.
Here’s the link to that example post in the screengrab.

I hope that helps. Shout if you have any questions.
Have a great day :-)
Mark
