Tech-challanged member question #2--how to make those shaded boxes

Question

Well, I might as well let my other dirty little secret out of the closet....

I often see when a member is lifting a portion of another member's answer and then addresses that part that the part that they have lifted and copied is there in the new post...all cute in a little shaded box. How do they do that???

I promise (for now) that this is the last stupid tech question I ask...

Answer 1

2 ways to do that.

If you like the tool bar above, first click the " symbol then paste the quote.

If you are a typist, it is easier to use the > symbol above the period.

And then plug in whatever you like. Usually a quote that you want to refer to.

Thank you so much for answering these 2 questions. - Echoline, Sep 14, 2010
