Quote Button
Submitted 5 years, 4 months ago by

Pretty self explanatory: can we get a button in the text editor that allows you to easily place empty quote boxes? I've been using stupidly roundabout ways to do that right now, and while I probably ought to figure out how to do it with the source code, I'm sure it would still be far faster if there were a button for it.
Seems like a pretty obvious feature to improve the readability & layout of longer posts, guides, etc.

Btw I'd suggest that you check my thread from 2 days ago. Chimera gave us some very useful tips on how to use the "source code" button for other applications.
There will be a button eventually, yes. So far you can use the workaround Kovachut presented, even tho personally it kinda annoys me that the header is still there and it says "Quote From No Author Specified", but that is the best you can do right now.
Im not sure why do you want to use quote in this way, but id assume to highlight a certain part of your post? Maybe a better idea is to use horizontal lines to divide post into several sections (like i did just now)

Well, for example if I want to respond to more than one quote from different users, or if I want to break up a long post by someone else so I can respond point-by-point.
BTW, is the BB-code for quotes a new addition? I could have sworn I tried that a few weeks ago and it didn't work for me then.
No, the function was always there i believe.
But yes, i completely understand what you mean. Multi-quote should be a thing one day, that is a very helpful feature.
Also dividing one quote into several sections to respond to each individually is something i used myself in the past quite frequently, so i hope that will be a thing as well. You can do it now by using the bbcode, but like i said before, the header annoys the hell out of me, so hopefully we will be able to do it better in the future.

FWIW Quote bbcode can be used and you can use the following attributes:
From will change "No Author Specified" into the correct person you're quoting.
Href is used for a link which will link the author's name.
Class can be set to "blizzard" for special blizzard theme if you're quoting a blizzard poster. It is the same one we use in news articles.
I'd like to get a multiquote setup implemented, but it is not very high on the priority list right now. Adding a button to the editor for quote blocks though would be a very easy, and welcome addition.
