Quote testing

Just had a thought…

bq.
bq. Double level?

Line 1
Line 2

No. Sigh. Just use HTML.

Yup … I ended up using nested blockquotes … but without the !

But when I cu’n’pasted the original to reply to, it lost all the formatting. So I had to first replace the original formatting, then add another level. All very tedious.

Yes, the fact that this forum doesn’t have a quote button is a source of continual infuriation. Apart from anything else, such buttons take the tedium out of threads like this one, since if you’re ever curious about how someone achieved a certain effect, you can just quote their post, instead of having to ask them to find a way to subvert the formatter to allow them to show you their code!

this is the message to quote

this is the reply

My lord that was easy, its been driving me mad not being able to quote properly!

I’m back again to test quotes.

bq. Testing quotes.

Textile sucks!

<blockquote> tags are your friend when doing nested or multi-line quotes.

Thanks! I’ll try not to do too many of those.

Ooh, very nice! ;-)

Quoting a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph a paragraph

Quoting another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph another paragraph

Is it how I think it is? Not quite, but I’ve worked it out:-) replace the [ with < below and bob’s your uncle

Yes, you can nest blockquotes, it seems, but not the bq. shorthand.

This is a test, honest guv!

Did that work?
