Instead of placing the <blockquote> HTML tags around the quoted text, users often intuitively use the ">" sign like this:

> some included text
> by some other poster

This module could (probably as an option) detect sections of text that start with ">", remove this sign and treat such sections as quoted text (apply appropriate style, just as if it <blockquote> tags were used).

The Blockquote module takes a blockquote tag pair, and modifies it a little in order to add css styling. Thus it’s input is HTML markup, and in particular, new-lines are not significant.

The job of converting your input scheme to HTML is outside the scope of Blockquote.
