# Stray \">\" marks from a pasted email

> \">\" characters inside your running text, left over from a quoted email or Markdown.

**Why it's flagged.** A ">" starts a paragraph, or a line inside one, usually left behind when text was pasted from an email reply or a Markdown file. It will print as a ">" in the book. A ">" in the middle of a sentence, such as *Settings > Privacy*, isn't flagged.

**How serious.** Worth a look.

**How to fix it.** In the full report, choose **fix here**: it shows the text with the ">" taken out. Check it and choose **Save correction**; the fix is made on every build. Change your manuscript too when you next edit it. Or, in any editor:

1. Find the ">" in your editor and delete it.
2. If it marked a quotation, apply the Block Quote style (or start the paragraph with `[[quote]]`).
3. Upload again.

**When to leave it.** If the ">" is meant, for example an arrow in a code sample, leave it. In the full report, **correct as is** stops it being flagged.
