Preserving  tags inside a  tag in a Redactor rich text field If I have multiple paragraphs of text in a rich text field, and I select them all and select "Quote" from the formatting menu, the &lt;p&gt; tags are stripped out and replaced with double &lt;br&gt; tags, like so:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
This is some text.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Here's some more text.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Is there any way to preserve the &lt;p&gt; tags, like so?

&lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;This is some text.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Here's some more text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


I've been through the Redactor documentation and config settings and haven't found anything that seems relevant.
Would you consider an alternative Matrix based approach where one rich text field was used for article-copy and another separate rich text field, used for the blockquote?

So: Matrix field: "Article blocks"


Block 1: "Article"
Block 2: "Quote"


e.g. (screen shot from a current project...)



That way you could leverage Matrix functionality and allow more layout control as well - such as alignment etc - to the blockqoutes, and maintain your paragraphs as well.
