How to insert a blank line between blockquote paragraphs?

[Thomas Maibaum]

Hello everyone,

First off, I'm new to this list, so if this has been dealt with before, 
I apologize. I was unable to find a solution in Google.

My question is, how do I insert a blank line between blockquote 
paragraphs so that they are visually separate? I often need to put two 
or three separate blockquotes in a row, without any regular text between 
them, but Markdown always renders the HTML output like one long quote. 
Like this:


|> Quote #1

[line break followed by empty line or spaces]

> Quote #2

[line break followed by empty line or spaces]

> Quote #3|



It always ends up looking the same as this:


|> Quote #1 [regular linebreak]

> Quote #2  [regular linebreak]

> Quote #3  [regular linebreak]|



So far, I've always put an acute accent ( ´ ) between the quotes, 
because it was the least obtrusive character I could think of:


|> Quote #1 [regular linebreak]

´

> Quote #2  [regular linebreak]

´

> Quote #3  [regular linebreak]|



But of course this is still an ugly workaraound. Is there another way to 
go about this?

Looking forward to any hints,

Thomas
