Issue #2
- Giovanni M.
- I still think that your approach is not valid in a general sense. You can match this specific case, but what about <blockquote> followed by <span>, <blockquote> followed by <em>, etc.? When writers format text neglecting html semantics, it is not possible to predict all the combinations to obtain correctly cited blockquotes.
Moreover this kind of "issue" does not seem to me so relevant. All essential contents are preserved and the reader will find the source under the quoted text, just as the writer wanted.

It is possible to reliably identify the quote author by looking at the next-sibling of the blockquote, then checking whether it is aligned to the right. Any text directly below the quote and aligned to the right will always necessarily be the source, so it's identifiable and will not lead to unpredictable behavior.
