Luke, @lah7 Thanks for the clarification
So the pre-formatted works just fine when using an extra line between text and the application of preformatted, however the block quote failed to include the text between <>
OR
you only corrected the first ... I'm trying pre-formatted from another computer this time
pfeiffep@HPE-580t:~$ apt-cache depends caja | grep Breaks
Breaks: <libcaja-extension>
Breaks: mate-session-manager
pfeiffep@HPE-580t:~$
seems to work just fine, now with block quote
pfeiffep@HPE-580t:~$ apt-cache depends caja | grep Breaks
Breaks:
Breaks: mate-session-manager
pfeiffep@HPE-580t:~$
So the block quote doesn't work Lesson learned
