How to Quote in New Forum Posts?

beremonavabi

I might be blind, but I don't see a button for putting quote tags around chunks of text in the new forum software. I see one for code, but not for quote. Am I missing something?

Just put a ">" in front of the line and

here's your quote

Simple as that.

Or just hit the "quote" button below my reply and see in the editor how it's done...

@jahonix Thanks. That's easy enough. And, it looks like the ">" symbol applies until the next paragraph mark (two ENTERS?). For instance, the text below is preceded by a single ">" at the start.

button for putting quote tags

Select the text you want to quote and click the Quote button.

That's good for posts within a thread. But, I was wondering about pasting in a block of text from somewhere else and then formatting it as a quote. I'm pretty sure in the old forum software, we either:

chose the "quote" button in the formatting options and pasted the text in the resulting spot,
pasted the text in, highlighted it, and hit that same "quote" formatting button,
or, typed in a [quote] [/quote] pair around the text.
