Using the Quote Botton, Special Tip
Th only limitation where that might not work is if the post you want to quote is more than 15 back.
----------------------------
Quotes and some other BBcodes can be nested, the first thing to understand is a BBcode has start and end tag. The end tag is indicated by having a slash. What we're doing is formatting what is between the tags. The start tag says to start formatting and the end tag say to cease formatting.
- Code: Select all
[quote]Some text[/quote]
When you quote a post that has already has quotes you'll get nested quotes like this:
- Code: Select all
[quote="poster1"]Some text[quote="poster2"]Some other text[/quote][/quote]
This will look like this:
poster1 wrote:Some textposter2 wrote:Some other text
If we just wanted to quote poster2's text you'd remove the first part and don't forget the end quote:
- Code: Select all
[quote="poster2"]Some other text[/quote]
Another type of BBcode that can be nested is lists:
- Code: Select all
[list]
[*]List 1
[*]List 1
[list]
[*]List 2
[*]List 2
[*]List 2
[/list]
[/list]
Which looks like this:
- List 1
- List 1
- List 2
- List 2
- List 2
Now if you wanted to get fancy we could nest some URL's
- Code: Select all
[list]
[*][url=http://example.com]List 1 Link[/url]
[*]List 1
[list]
[*]List 2
[*][url=http://example.com]List 2 Link[/url]
[*][url=http://example.com]List 2 Link[/url][/list]
[/list]
- List 1 Link
- List 1
- List 2
- List 2 Link
- List 2 Link
You can even nest a URL to attribute a quote:
- Code: Select all
