Whitespace changes persisting when quoted

[Rhababo]

This is an issue for later down the line, but I noticed that if you highlight and quote text using the "quote" popup in discourse, it trims newlines and extra whitespace when propagating that text into the composer.

I'm not sure how discourse propagates the quote into the composer, so there may be something that we would need to intercept/override.

Further looking into this, and basically all formatting is lost when quoting in this way, although the "quote entire post" button retains the formatting. This may be a question for discourse meta.

If you pose the question on Meta, make sure to link the topic here for us.

I suspect this might have to do with a html to markdown function somewhere...
