Most of you know that if you click the Quote button on a post, your reply will start off with a full quote of the previous post.

Something like

In the editor, what you see looks like:
Code: Select all

Something like
[quote="Greenlake"]Most of you know that if you click the Quote button on a post, your reply will start off with a full quote of the previous post.[/quote]

Now, you can simply type the special commands yourself:
Code: Select all
[quote="Somebody"]some text to be quoted[/quote]

This would show in a message like this:
Somebody wrote:some text to be quoted

This trick is useful if you want to divide a long post and reply to selected parts of it.

If you see brackets and commands in your post, either you didn't match opening an closing commands, or you have the little box below the editor checked ("Disable BBCode"). That check box must be empty for these special codes to work.
