Quotes and multi quotes

I've received a PM from a regular user, I've been asked the same question a few times, so here it is a little tutorial of how to multiquote provided what I've written makes any sense

I share the answer to this user with everybody as it's a common question:


When you use the quote button you have to use the window below, but in the window below you can't enter your own text so it's bad for multiquoting. I use instead the reply button and include the quotes manually.

So I just use the main window, never using the quote button but simply replying and using this. (When you want to post examples of how something would be interpreted by the forum, you can use code samples)

Simple quotes

Code: Select all
[quote]
What I want to quote inside the open quote and close quote tags
[/quote]


To get the most simple way to do a manual quote

What I want to quote inside the open quote and close quote tags


Embedded quotes

Embedded quotes work like parenthesis or brackets, that is (()), when you open one, you have to close one. The left most bracket matches the right-most bracket. If you have two opening brackets, you have two closing brackets. Example:

Code: Select all
[quote]
[quote]
[quote]
Mourinho is the man
[/quote]
Get a clue lad
[/quote]
I agree.
[/quote]


In order to get this

Mourinho is the man

Get a clue lad

I agree.


Quotes that include in it the username of the quoted guy

If you want to manually make a quote that has the name of the guy you're quoting, you have to include 3 fields in the quote, or it won't work

that is

Code: Select all
[quote=Sabre]
An attempt to include the username in a quote
[/quote]


Won't work, and what's worse, it will fúck up the interpreter and you won't be able to quote correctly from that point (that's why I'm not posting the result within the code example to see what happens).


If you want to make a quote that includes the user, you have to use 3 fields separated by commas, like this

Code: Select all
[quote=Sabre,Kitchen,In the morning]
Rafa is the way
[/quote]


In order to get this

Hope this helps.
