That usually works for me, but the quotes just seem to mess things up. Specifically quotes with bullet points after a quote without a bullet point seem to cause troubles.

  • Bullet point

    • Quote with bullet point

      Quote
      * Quote but no bullet point

    Edit: After testing, it seems that the first item on the list controls whether anything can be a bullet point within a quote. Odd, but at least I understand it now.

Editx2, Ah shoot. Now I can't figure out how to escape quotes properly. I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Let's see…

Begin quote

  • Try bullet point…

Source code (indent with 4 spaces):

> Begin quote
>
> * Try bullet point…

Now…

  • Bullet point

    • Bullet point inside quote inside bullet point

      Quote inside quote inside bullet point.

      • Aaand the bullet point!

       

    Looks like it works.
Source code:

* Bullet point
  > * Bullet point inside quote inside bullet point
  > > Quote inside quote inside bullet point.

  > > * Aaand the bullet point!
