Describe the feature you'd like

I would like to add pure text large text that are some kind of quotation (not my own words).

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Currently you can add some text but very often you will see coloring in the text.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I know this can be achived like this:

but as you can see in such case the language validator thinks that they are written incorrectly and add this terible red waves under almost each word.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

No response

Hi @mlipok,

but as you can see in such case the language validator thinks that they are written incorrectly and add this terible red waves under almost each word.

Those red waves would only be visible in edit mode. That's powered by the browser's native spell-checking, we don't have our own spell-checking at all, so if that's incorrectly highlighting that may just be due to your browser spell-check preferences.

Since there's been no response to my prior message, and since we already provide quote block formatting, I'll go ahead and close this off.
