So you want to create proper blockquotes, but you aren't a Firefox user? We got you covered. 

You can create the Highlight code by including the following in a story page when quoting another source:

First type [q url=

then paste in the source, in quotation marks, i.e. "http://www.source-of-your-quote.com"

then a closed bracket: ]

Then paste in the text you're quoting. Just paste it in.

Then type [/q]

So it looks like 

Blockquote

The result will be something like:

Jordan is awesome!!!

So what you're doing is:

  1. Beginning a blockquote;
  2. Quoting something;
  3. Ending the block quote.

There. You just did some code. You don't even have to touch the scary-looking HTML button at the top of the text-entry area.

Now, at cocktail parties, you can impress your friends by saying, "That's a blockquote. Act like you know". Make sure to add just a hint of condescension to your voice.

That's so funny.  I'm going to try it.  The cocktail chatter that is.

What am I missing?  It does not work for me and I do not understand why the hi light tool will not work on my Firefox side.

I transfer what I want to my notepad first. Is that the problem?

you tried the manual code and it doesn't work for you? Or you tried the Highlight tool and it doesn't work for you?

I use the manual code mostly, if you like I can teach you more step by step how to use it.
