Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/1126

I know I can set code block lines in MD013, but how do I set the length of the block quote lines?
I get the following error in markdownlint, but I want to ignore it.

There is no exception for block quotes because they are generally wrappable. Your example seems easily wrapped, but maybe your real scenario is not. If so, you can use one of the inline comments to disable the rule for that line or that file or you can use a configuration file to disable it for the entire project.

Oh, sorry.
I just wondered why you can specify a maximum length in the code block options, but not the block quot.

For example, here's a markdown file.

# test

> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

```text
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
```

Line 3 gives me an error, but line 6 doesn't.
It looks unnatural.

markdownlint-cli2 v0.12.1 (markdownlint v0.33.0)
Finding: test.md !.git !node_modules
Linting: 1 file(s)
Summary: 1 error(s)
test.md:3:81 MD013/line-length Line length [Expected: 80; Actual: 447]

Also, my configuration is:

{
  "config": {
    "MD013": {
      "code_block_line_length": 500
    },
  },
  "ignores": [".git", "node_modules"]
}

So we cannot set blockquote line length?
