How to insert a blank line between blockquote paragraphs?

[Thomas Maibaum]

Thank you, I think this makes a lot of sense. I came across Pandoc when 
I first learned about Markdown and I like its extended version of 
Markdown very much, in particular the fact that it supports footnotes 
and tables (the same goes for Markdown Extra).

Unfortunately, none of the tools I use locally (MarkdownHere for Mozilla 
Thunderbird, MarkdownPad) support any extended versions of Markdown, and 
I was unable to install Pandoc.

I use the MarkdownExtra Dingus or the Try Pandoc page every once in a 
while, but generally having to use a browser is too much of an 
interruption to my usual "offline" workflow.

Is there a "how to install Pandoc for dummies"-type site somewhere?
