Briefly describe the bug

An unconventional syntax of block quote is used:

>>>
a
b
>>>

This is a valid syntax which is understood by WebIDE preview and GitLab's markdown rendering engine. However it is not rendered correctly on www-gitlab-com:

We should support >>> markdown syntax to bring parity to gitlab.com

If possible, please specify how to reproduce the bug
