I am using Symphony CMS and it uses Markdown for article writing. I need to do a blockquote of a quote from Benjamin Franklin and would like to have the quote followed by a citation beneath if but right now all it does is blockquote the whole line. How does one do this in markdown syntax?

A:
Markdown has no dedicated citation syntax.
Your best bet is something like this:
> Quote here.
>
> -- <cite>Benjamin Franklin</cite>
which results in:
Quote here.
-- Benjamin Franklin

I would use an — instead of two hyphens.

@Evan Style is entirely up to the user. My Markdown install includes Smartypants, which turns -- into an emdash.
