A quick tutorial on quoting:

 

To quote someone, the easiest thing to do is hit the "Quote" button in their post. That will give you the basic "codes" to mark quotes. The basic format of this code is:

  Quote

What Buffy said.

Expand  

What you say about Buffy's post.

Comes out as:

  Buffy said:

What Buffy said.

What you say about Buffy's post.

 

You can then copy and paste some other quote (note that when you are posting to a thread, all the most recent posts show up *below* where you are entering your post), and then put these codes in and replace the name after the equals sign:

  Quote

Buffy says something silly.

Expand  

You say Buffy is silly.

  Quote

Tormod says something brilliant.

Expand  

You say Tormod is brilliant.

Comes out as:

  Buffy said:

Buffy says something silly.

You say Buffy is silly.

  Tormod said:

Tormod says something brilliant.

You say Tormod is brilliant.

You can also nest quotes, although this can get out of hand:

  Quote

Buffy says something silly.

  Quote

Tormod says Buffy is silly.

Expand

You say you agree with Buffy anyway.

Comes out as:

  Buffy said:

Buffy says something silly.

  Tormod said:

Tormod says Buffy is silly.

You say you agree with Buffy anyway.

 

*Always*--I'll repeat ALWAYS--edit what you're quoting to get down to *just* what you're responding to, its unbelievably rude to quote a page long post and then add "ditto." Don't be a dittohead (either kind). :steering:

 

Have fun on Hypography!

That is how I began.

Understood…..knew about *below*, Had brackets but no CAPS, = sign or /

Does it matter by starting a reply without space after unquote or on the next line? It doesn't seem to.

And you can quote me on that.

I tried (with no luck)to double or triple nest. Is that possible?

 

Thanks, again Buffy…….chendoh:)

I tried, but like Buffy mentioned:

Best thing to do is start in the advanced editor, try different things, and keep hitting "Preveiw Post" until you get what you want. Good luck!

 

 

Cheers. :confused:
