This might be a dumb question , but How do I highlight someones quote and post it in my response? Thank you.

Quote button in the lower right corner of the original post.

or you can use 'quote' and '/quote' with brackets [].

example:

{QUOTE=OneHotJupiter;1038043} This might be a dumb question , but How do I highlight someones quote and post it in my response? Thank you.{/QUOTE}

Just replace the {} with []

Automatically: use the "quote button at the right bottom of the post.

Manually:


[ quote=name]the quoted message[/quote]

but remove the space before "quote"

Result:

You could use [noparse] [/noparse]

That's interesting, by the way: The line above uses nested "Noparse" statements.

Just a little experimentation:


[QUOTE=Test]

I can put bold tags outside noparse + quote tags[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Test]

And I can put code tags outside noparse + quote tags[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Test]

but it has problems with another level of quote tags outside the same combination[/QUOTE]

I copy the quote section first.

Then I click on the "quote" button.

The non-quote text appears, at which point I insert (paste) the quote in the appropriate location.

Finally I highlight the quote and click on the "quote" icon.

That does the trick.

Oh yeah, I also delete spaces until the quote commands (i.e., the [ ]s that read "quote" and "/quote") are bumping up against each other. The result is a well-formatted post without unnecessary spaces.

Thank you all for the help!
