Looks great, thank you.

The cherry on top is: Preserve the attribution line (the line that says
who wrote the material you're quoting) on quoted material you keep.

Especially when there are several nested levels, – like here – keeping
the attribution lines matching the quoted material helps to make sense
of it all.
