Blockquote Appears to Be Broken #280

Description

@alexandermichels

Acknowledge the following

  • I carefully read and followed the Getting Started guide.
  • I read through FAQ and searched through the past issues, none of which addressed my issue.
  • The issue I am raising is a potential bug in al-folio and not just a usage question.
    [For usage questions, please use gitter chat instead of raising an issue.]

Describe the bug
It appears that blockquotes are indistinguishable from normal text. You can see it on this blog post on the demo site (the second-to-last paragraph is a blockquote): https://alshedivat.github.io/al-folio/blog/2015/formatting-and-links/ and the problem exists on my site as well. The problem seems to exist for both light and dark modes and when using the markdown > syntax and html blockquote tag. Using inspect confirms that it is a blockquote, just doesn't appear different at all.

To Reproduce
See the demo site: https://alshedivat.github.io/al-folio/blog/2015/formatting-and-links/ or you can test it locally by using the > markdown syntax such as:

> this is a blockquote test

this is a blockquote test

Expected behavior
I would expect (and believe the old behavior was) that the text looks different from regular text. I believe it used to be indented with a line to the left of the text.

System (please complete the following information):
Obviously this only relevant to my site, not sure what the demo site is using:

  • OS: Linux Mint
  • Browser (and its version): checked on Chrome (Version 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and Firefox 88.0.1
  • Jekyll version [e.g. 3.8.7]: 4.2.0
  • Ruby version [e.g. 2.6.5]: ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-linux-gnu
