@ipselute I will ask you for the third time. Please edit your question and add an example. None of the examples you've shown make sense. You were using blockquotes (>) to format code instead of code formatting and that's what the editors changed. Is that what's confusing you? Have you read the page I linked to? That explains when to use one and when the other.

| Jun 15, 2016 at 13:04 | comment | added | ipse lute | Just another example: askubuntu.com/posts/787276/revisions. This kind of situation happens a lot, but not in all answers. I just don't get, why some blockquotes are fine, and others get changed to code? | |
| Jun 15, 2016 at 12:54 | comment | added | terdon | @ipselute I don't understand. The editor there, correctly, changed your quote to code. That's not what your question here is about. Please edit your question and show an example. Explain what you expected to see and how it differs from what you actually see. | |

| Jun 15, 2016 at 12:45 | comment | added | ipse lute | My problem is exactly the empty line. It always appear 'in grey' space, like it belongs to the blockquote, not to the 'normal' white space. At least a dozens answers like that have been corrected by the editors for that single reason. | |
