How to create a quote block on this forum

Hello, musicians and parents! I had a PM request from a parent asking me,

I’m happy to oblige–it is quite easy. CC uses a simple markup language called BBCode. To create a quote all you need to do is type:

[quote]
text
[/quote
]
–minus the asterisks. I put them in because otherwise what you would see is this:

If you want to add the name of the person who you are quoting, then use

[quote=glassharmonica]
instead of

[quote]
for the first one.

As in

You can also use this method to make bold or italic text or to make text colored.

[b<em>]bold[/b] or [i<em>]italic[/i] text or to make text [color=green<em>]colored[/color].

For more info, just google BBCode and you’ll find online tutorials.

Closing. Further comments belong in the existing thread:
