"Quoting" other users

[AB Editor]

Morning,

I'm hoping to have a way for us to "quote" one another today.

Questions:

1. How would you like the quotes to look? Italics? Bold? A different colour? All suggestions will be considered.

2. How would you like to implement it? We need a trigger to tell the system "this is a quote". This trigger will be typed before and after the quote so the system to knows where to begin and end. Some options:

{quote}message to be "quoted"{quote}
[Q]message to be "quoted"[Q]
*message to be "quoted"*

It is possible we could put some pretty quote marks around the quote. Who would be in favour of this?

Maybe like this:

So to quote a quote you have to put the ] back in.

You copy the quote. Type paste the quote....and repeat at the end of the quote.
