The solution is for users to not use monospaced, pre-formatted text for things other than code snippets.

I think monospaced should be like

``` monospaced ```

And the four-space/tab indentation should denote

    a quote

But that's just me.

I'm a fan of > for quotes, plus it's less likely to have people used to four spaces for code suddenly getting quotes instead

If users have to work around server errors, it's not a solution.

It's not a server error, it's a user error. Stop using monospace for things that don't need it.
