We have a really small dev team and I'm not sure how much work would have to be done to allow that feature. I absolutely see the value in time savings for y'all, I just don't think we have the bandwidth to build it, unfortunately. | |

| May 10, 2021 at 19:03 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | Yeah, you're not the only site that'd like a special quote style for particular things - I think most of the religion sites would like that, too. :) I'm not enough of an expert in CommonMark to know whether it's possible to have two different quote formats like that, unfortunately. | |
| May 10, 2021 at 19:02 | comment | added | Peter Turner | @catija ok chalk it up to the Mandela Effect then. I think many folks would prefer to be serif-free (or at the very least 100% consistent), but have some sort of one-box for special quotes (i.e. Biblical quotes), we've had that request for quite a while I thought it was getting into a serious review last year, but hadn't heard anything lately. | |
| May 10, 2021 at 19:00 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | The "Top Questions" thing (as far as I'm aware) has always been sans, even on sites with serif stacks. I remember thinking it was odd at the outset. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean it was the case for y'all, too... just I remember it being mentioned as something odd when we did this a couple years ago. | |
