This forum needs a style for blockquotes

Omegatron
If I put something in <code> tags, it displays like this: something in code tags, but if I put something in <blockquote> tags, it displays like this:
something in blockquote tags
. There should be some style associated with blockquotes to set them apart.

    Better?

    (Aside from the dashed gray border, now using :before/after and CSS generated content to put quotes around the text, but hey, it's a Firefox extension...)

    You're not supposed to put quotation marks around a blockquote, silly.

    :-)

    Yes, it's better with the lines, though. Thanks.

    This was hard to figure out! I tried >>> and > and "" all to no avail. Maybe a little link or explanatory box under the textbox?

    This is a blockquote:
    Hi, I'm quoting you now!
    How did I do it?
    <blockquote>quoted text</blockquote>

    @damnation How did you accomplish displaying the blockquote tags without enclosing them within code tags?
  • adamsmith
    you escape the opening pointy bracket as &lt; (which I'm displaying here by in turn escaping the ampersand)
  • DWL-SDCA
    Ah, yes. Thanks. I use another forum where the escaped character is treated the same as the pointy bracket. This system is more flexible.
