Quote Block

This is a block type used in Stencila Schema for quoted content.

It exists to represent extended quotations as structured block content, distinct from both inline quotation and untyped paragraphs. This helps preserve attribution, provenance, and format mappings for quoted material.

Key properties include the quoted content and any citation or source metadata associated with the quotation.
