How to insert a blank line between blockquote paragraphs?

[Alan Hogan]

If you don’t mind empty <p> tags between your blockquotes, you can use the non-breaking space character. (On OS X, that’s option+space.)

Normalized output on Babelmark2: http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?normalize=1&text=%3E+foo%0A%0A%C2%A0%0A%0A%0A%3E+bar%0A%0A%C2%A0%0A%0A%0A%3E+baz

(wow, how useful is that…! Thanks, John MacFarlane!)
