Trying to copy lengthy quote from https://www.quora.com/If-Ashkenazi-Jews-really-do-have-an-estimated-IQ-of-115-why-isnt-Israel-the-country-with-the-highest-IQ-worldwide/answer/Yoni-Ariel.
- First I show screenshots of how I made the quotes blocks in Steps 1, 2, & 3.
- Second I show screenshots of the various results in Tests 1, 2 & 3.
Screenshots of Process
The process (see screenshots below in Steps 1, 2, & 3):
- I copied text (4 paragraphs),
- highlighted text,
- made quote block using (“) on toolbar,
- switched to HTML edit and inserted HTML code,
- hit Enter between < / p > and < p > .
- Results unacceptable. See below in Tests 1, 2, & 3.
UPDATE DEC. 10 2021: Test 5 below is the result of successful instructions. These instructions and accompanying screenshots are saved at the post Posting Multi-Block Quotes.
Step 1 Clicked default Quote Box icon in toolbox
Step 2 Clicked Edit as HTML
Step 3 Inserted HTML code
Test 1
As you can see, only the first paragraph is normal text. The following paragraphs are still Italics. To fix that, I have to edit HTML each paragraph separately. That makes for the “multiple quotes,” as you call them. See below in Test 3.
Agnosticism or even atheism is not a sin according to Judaism. Only if you actually converted to a faith that believes in more than one God have you sinned. As a result, our religion and culture have never prevented us from asking questions, challenging accepted dogma and concepts, thinking critically and originally, and encouraging intellectual curiosity. This is what has given us the intellectual and innovation advantage that is often misinterpreted as having a higher IQ.
Christianity is a faith-based religion. This means what you believe, or think is more important than what you do. To an observant Christian (until 150 years ago the vast majority of people were religiously observant, secularism is a 19th century phenomenon), merely thinking about whether God exists or questioning to yourself whether Jesus was his son was a sin. As a result, Christian culture inhibited out of the box thinking, because it was often likely to be followed by a bad attack of guilt. Guilt is really bad for the mind and psyche. This created a mindset inimical to critical or original thinking, and strongly discouraged intellectual curiosity, since all too often such thinking resulted in being accused of heresy, witchcraft or devil worshipping, which often meant a prolonged and painful death.
Our attitudes to education were also very different. Queen Salome Alexandra (Shlomzion), who reigned during the Second Temple period (around 100 BC) instituted compulsory education throughout Judea. Ever since, our literacy rate has been very high, over 80%. The Christian world only reached similar literacy rates during the 18th or 19th centuries. This has also given us a cultural edge regarding intellectual pursuits and innovative thinking.
Thinking is to the mind what exercise is to muscles. Our brains are not intrinsically superior to anyone else’s. but for over a thousand years we have been exercising them and mentally working out much better.
Test 2
Here I did not try to break paragraphs. The result is the same as Test 1.

Test 3: Multiple Quotes from Original Page
To make all the paragraphs normal text, I had to edit HTML each paragraph separately. That results in for multiple quotes.
The key is religious attitudes towards critical thinking and education. Judaism is an action based religion, not a faith or thought based one. For us, thinking about whether God really exists is not a sin, as we understand our minds have a mind of their own, and we do not and can not control our thoughts. With us, you only commit a sin if you actually do something, not just think about it.
