How can the Markdown syntax be utilized to acknowledge the author of a blockquote?

edit

One way to acknowledge the author of a blockquote using Markdown syntax is to include their name or username before or after the quote, preceded by a hyphen or other distinguishing punctuation. For example:

"Life is like a camera. Focus on the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot." - Anonymous

Or:

"The best way to predict the future is to invent it."
- Alan Kay
