Pocket and displaying (block)quotes

Anak · 12-06-2013, 06:03 AM

Articles that contain blockquotes are not displayed correctly (IMHO).
There is a huge gap before (4-5 lines) and after a blockquote (4 lines).
A gap before and after is correct, but I would think that a gap of 1 line (alright make it 2) would suffice.

Can this "issue" be solved with a future firmware release?

Device: Kobo Touch (Mark 3)

Example article with blockquotes: As Fast Food Workers Go On Strike In 100 Cities, Applebees Unveils The "Waiter Terminator"

Anak, the first question to ask is whether Pocket exhibits the same formatting difficulty on other platforms? (For instance, in your web browser when accessing your pocket articles.) That is, is the mistake in how Pocket is delivering content to the Kobo device, or in how the Kobo device is rendering the content?

When I open the saved article in Pocket through the web browser, the same issue occurs.
It seems to be a Pocket formatting issue.

Yeah; the massive margins on the block quotes was added in the latest Pocket redesign. I think it's a poor design choice and hope they'll tone it back a little sometime soon.
