If you were born in '34, you probably learned to form quotation marks as "sixes and nines" A six-shaped mark (or marks) to open a quote and nine-shaped marks to close the quote.

vB code tags work the same way, just substitute [quote ] for the sixes and [/quote ] for the nines (without the space that keeps them from being parsed.)

Weird Harold: I recommend using the [ code ] tags to demonstrate. There isn't a button for them, but they still work on here. For example:

Code: Select all
[quote="Weird Harold"]Hello.[/quote]

[quote="munroburton"][quote="Weird Harold"]Hello.[/quote]
Greetings.[/quote]


Those two turn into:
Weird Harold wrote:Hello.

and
munroburton wrote:
Weird Harold wrote:Hello.

Greetings.


To make formatting easier to pick out, some users might space it out like this:
Code: Select all
[quote="munroburton"]
  [quote="Weird Harold"]
  Hello.
  [/quote]
Greetings.
[/quote]

Good to know that
Code: Select all
[code][/code]
works. It wouldn't have done much for the syntax of what i was trying to explain, but it's good to know.

I try, I really try. Thanks for the assistance. When I try it, however, I always think the first quote comes last.

First [quote= Richard Roe"] is the last quote
next
John Doe wrote:is the middle one
last [quote= Joe Shmo"] is the first one

so: [quote= Richard Roe"]
John Doe wrote:[quote= Joe Shmo"]

Ehhh, whats up doc?

Be quiet, be vewwwy quiet
