Quotes and multi quotes
Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2009 3:36 pmI'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)

Embedded quotes

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
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
In order to get this
Hope this helps.
