Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum but I've searched every where I can think of and can't find information on how to insert a quote.

Seems to me that there used to be a place where one could find information like this.

Any help would be most appreciated. Joan

Joan, really simple, just:

Quoting:
your text


No spaces between the bracket(s) and whatever you want to quote.

Joan once you take the spaces, between the brackets, away it will work

Oops, I goofed! Lilypond is right, just take out the spaces (between brackets) of her example and it'll work.

Aha, thank you Pam, it is like HTML except box-brackets are used instead of angle-brackets. Is this peculiar to Dave's Garden only?

I don't know but it is a great opportunity to try a quote box for the first time!

For a thread on quotes, underlines, bold, italics, and lots more silliness gone berserk, look here (warning, it's a long thread but sprinkled with hoots):

Thanks Magpye, I found it after the fact. How could I miss this oh so obvious tab? All I can say is that I was looking for something else that I thought used to be here.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!! LOL

As an FYI, except for Home Talk and Garden Talk (which share the same forum-related FAQs), every other tab has its own set of questions and answers. Click on the tab, then click on the FAQ link for tips and hints. Happy exploring!
