If you want to quote a previous post, you use the little "QUOTE" button thingy at the bottom right of every post.

However, if you want to quote something that isn't a previous post, you must be forced to be creative...

You need to make a 'tag' that preceeds and then follows the text that you want to quote.

A tag is identified by the robot software as some 'tag text' delimited by square brackets. I can't show you an example because the robot will think that my tag example is a real tag, so for this example I will use curly braces instead of the square bracket, so that you can get the idea.

Lets say that you want to quote the text: THIS IS A QUOTE EXAMPLE

You would put the quote tag {QUOTE} at the beginning of your text, and at the end of your text, you would put the 'end quote' tag {/QUOTE} ...

So it would look like this:

{QUOTE}THIS IS A QUOTE EXAMPLE{/QUOTE}

But after the robot does its work, it will look like this:

Quote:
THIS IS A QUOTE EXAMPLE
There you go, simple as that.
