Option to recognize adjacent but separate block quotes as distinct, separate block quotes

[KirkMunro]

There are many cases where I use two distinct block quotes next to one another in markdown, with a space or blank line between them, and in these cases I always want the block quotes to be rendered as two separate block quotes. In Visual Studio Code I get this behaviour by default. In GitHub I get this behaviour by default as well. With showdownjs, however, I don't get that behaviour. Instead, the adjacent block quotes are rendered as a single block quote. I recognize that this is the default markdown behaviour; however, it would be very useful to have an option in showdownjs that makes it render block quotes separated by blank lines as separate block quotes.

e.g. I would like this:

> # Block quote  1
>
> This is my first block quote.

> # Block quote 2
>
> This is my second block quote.

To render like this:

Block quote 1

This is my first block quote.

Block quote 2

This is my second block quote.

Instead of like this:

Block quote 1

This is my first block quote.

Block quote 2

This is my second block quote.

Thank you @tivie for everything you do with showdownjs and for considering this request. Happy Holidays!
