Subject: How do I quote text?
Date Posted: 04 May 2006 at 10:29am
Sometimes I want to reply to a certain part of someone's post and I don't know how to do it.
I think that lots of posters are having the same problem because we all seem to have to resort to using colors.
Is there a quote button somewhere?
Occasionally I would like to past a part of an article and quote some of it so that it stands out. Knowing how to quote would be helpful.
Thanks.

Just place [ quote = name of person ] at the beginning of the text you wish to quote and at the end [ / quote ]
I put a space in the code so that you could see the code, without the space it is

OK, smarty pants I am going to paste some stuff on tigers below. I want you to copy and paste it into your reply and I want you to quote paragraph 2 not with quotation marks, but a quotation that sets the text apart from the other paragraphs.
Easily recognized by its coat of reddish-orange with dark stripes, the tiger is the largest wild cat in the world. The big cat weighs up to 800 pounds (363 kilograms), stretches 6 feet (2 meters) long, and has a 3-foot- (1-meter-) long tail. The powerful predator generally hunts alone, able to bring down prey such as deer and antelope.
Tigers wait until dark to hunt. Once a tiger has spotted its prey, it sneaks as close as possible to its victim. Then the tiger sprints to the unsuspecting animal, usually pulling it off its feet with its teeth and claws. If the prey animal is large, the tiger bites its throat to kill it; smaller prey is usually killed when the tiger breaks its neck.
Tigers have been known to eat up to 60 pounds (27 kilograms) of meat in one night, but more often they consume about 12 pounds (5 kilograms) during a meal. It may take days for a tiger to finish eating its kill. The cat eats until it's full, and then covers the carcass with leaves and dirt. When it's hungry again, the tiger comes back to feed some more, until the meat is gone.
Unlike most members of the cat family, tigers seem to enjoy water. They swim well and often soak in streams or pools of water to cool off.
Some tigers live where it gets very cold�in parts of North Korea, eastern Russia, and China. Other tigers live where the climate is generally warmer�in India and parts of southeast Asia. The whole species is endangered throughout its range. Tigers have been overhunted for their fur as well as for other body parts that many people use in traditional medicines. Tigers' habitat has also dwindled seriously as humans have developed land for uses such as farming and logging.
Thanks.

Okay,
When you quote is looks like [ quote = george ] [ / quote ]
Instead put [ quote ] with no = George in the beginning, the rest is the same.

Part 2:
Like Angela said, if you don't want "george" there,
delete =george
Then it will look like this:

Part 3: (and last part!!)
If you wish to put in, only paragraph 2 in the quote box, , then cut and paste
[ QUOTE ] above the paragraph you want.
Then cut and paste [ /QUOTE ] just below that paragraph
In short, whatever you want in quote box, should be sandwiched between [ QUOTE ] and [ /QUOTE ]
That's how we did the "tiger post".
