Description

### Expected

When viewing markdown in the browser at app.simplenote.com, blockquotes should be displayed with the correct font style (normal, italic, bold, bold italic) and with the correct length vertical line, similar to this example on Github.

> Blockquote

> *Blockquote in italic*

> **Blockquote in bold**

> ***Blockquote in bold italic***

### Observed

When using the browser, blockquotes are displayed incorrectly. All text is italic and the vertical line is too tall.

### Reproduced

Copy and paste the following text and view as markdown in Firefox.
```
> Blockquote

> *Blockquote in italic*

> **Blockquote in bold**

> ***Blockquote in bold italic***
```
