While reading early issues of TWiR (2013-2017) in order to learn about the history of Rust, I noticed some markup problems that prevented them from displaying as they were presumably originally intended to. I think these are worth fixing in bulk.

  • Emoji written as images with dead links to cdn.discourse.org. Replaced with Unicode.

  • {% blockquote %} tags not processed. Replaced with Markdown >s.

    (Note: TWiR is already inconsistent with whether quote attributions are prefixed with “—” em dash or “–” em dash. This change uses em dashes which are consistent with the style of the older issues.)

Currently, this markup occurring in historical TWiR issues is rendered
as plain text instead of the intended quotes.
This change is intended to help historical issues of TWiR be read as
originally intended.
