Showing the Author’s Name in the Block Quotations

[lnxpy]

This quick trick would help you show the author's name in the block quotes. I have done some experiments and proposed using the text-marking feature inside the block quotes to specify the author's name. It needs pymdownx.mark to be included as a markdown_extension though.

Implementation

Once you have pymdownx.mark included in your markdown_extensions, use this custom CSS style for the look of your block quotations.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Manrope:[email protected]&display=swap');

...

.md-main blockquote {
  border: unset !important;
  border-radius: 4px;
  padding: 20px 0 20px 0;
}

.md-main blockquote p {
  display: inline;
}

.md-main blockquote:before {
  opacity: 0.1;
  z-index: -1;
  content: open-quote;
  font-family: manrope;
  font-size: 14em;
  line-height: 0.53em;
  margin-left: -25px;
  position: absolute;
}

.md-main blockquote mark {
    display: block;
    background-color: unset;
    margin: 15px 0 0 20px;
    font-style: italic;
    font-size: 19px;
    font-weight: 150;
}

You're welcome! :D
