A couple of contributors have asked about the use of quote tags on Place of Safety. Unfortunately, tags such as [quote], <Q> and <BLOCKQUOTE> don't work.
There is a "Quote message" button which you can use when posting a reply to a post which reproduces the original post in italics, preceded by "Nick said:" (or whatever the name of the author was).
However, as an alternative, there is one HTML tag which does create a useful effect, which is the paragraph tag, <P>. Although this does nothing by itself, a grey background can be added using the attribute STYLE="background-color:#BBBBBB". Always end the paragraph you are highlighting with </P>.
To illustrate, here's an example.
Blue said:
Trying different quote tags this time, they didn't work properly in my last post.
I created this effect by typing:
<P STYLE="background-color:#BBBBBB">Trying different quote tags this time, they didn't work properly in my last post.</P>.
You can also use the <I> tag for italics, terminated with </I>. So to create:
Trying different quote tags this time, they didn't work properly in my last post.
just type:
<P STYLE="background-color:#BBBBBB"><I>Trying different quote tags this time, they didn't work properly in my last post.</I></P>.
Just to make sure, always test what you have done using the Preview button before you post! Also make sure that the HTML box is ticked, which it is by default.
