Quotation in Question body in mobile #4839

Description

@s-steddy

When the text in a question body is a quotation, we use a special tool so that users can scroll sideways to see lines of poems if they are long, etc.

Me and Tessa would like to get rid of this sideways scrolling tool so that for quotations like poems, the next line is simply dropped down. This is the standard on other mobile apps. You can see from lines that don't begin with capital letters which text has just overflown:

Apologies as I'm not sure how much this will be different from what we do with quotations for which line breaks do not matter. But, for quotations in the body of a question, for which lines breaks do matter let's say:

  • Let text overflow onto next line, and so also remove sideways scrolling ability and instructions to scroll sideways
  • Add a very slight amount of spacing between lines that author has separated themselves, ie. using the Enter key. Suggest 2pt more than whatever it currently is.
