The new REPLY feature

Question

Is there a way to make the new "blockquote" REPLY feature a little more user-friendly? It's very handy, but often I want to "reply" to a previous statement without including half-a-page of previous statements in the "blockquote."

I learned to write HTML by hand a long time ago -- showing my age -- before HTML editors were popular, but it is very frustrating to sit there and try to edit the nested "cite" / "blockquote" HTML which is generated without making a mistake.

Is there a way to make the new feature a bit more user friendly? WYSIWIG ("What you see is what you get" editing is a wonderful thing . . . although of course we could all just copy-and-paste what we want like we used to . . . Is anyone else having a problem'

Answer 1

often I want to "reply" to a previous statement without including half-a-page of previous statements in the "blockquote."

I don't quite understand your question. You can copy a single word or the entire answer using the blockquote feature.

just copy-and-paste what we want

??

Just as qfreed has done above. - Eddy, Aug 24, 2009
