How to quote a message

[BartHumphries 10]

So, how do I quote a message? Or, how do I insert a quote into the message? I've tried clicking the "format this post" link to the left, but I just get a big purple popup. Should I use the HTML blockquote tags?

I write:

 

(i)Quoted text in italics(/i)

 

Where

 

( = <

 

and

 

) = >

 

Oh, and you copy the text by highlighting it,

 

then use Control-C to copy it

 

and Control-V to plunk it down somewhere else

Or you can go 'low tech' and merely clip and paste the quote and enclose it in "quotation marks".

With Firefox I get the same blank screen you get if I try to use the 'format this post' function. Try IE instead.

I use da HTML italic tags.

 

{I}This is a quote{/I}

 

Except of course use < instead of { and

> instead of }

Ok. I couldn't find a quote button, so I wasn't sure what I was missing at first.
