So I've seen other people have a larger quote that begins with larger quotation marks and I was wondering how to do that in reviews.

Best wishes,

The way I normally would to it is to click Full Reply, then in the full reply box you can scroll down to other peoples posts. On their post, click "Quote" which will quote their whole post. You can then delete the parts you don't need.

Alternatively you can use the Quote command to put things in a box.

Code: Select all
[quote] Quotation Here [/quote]


Which turns into

Quotation Here


However that doesn't always have the name of the original poster with it.

In a literary piece I'd recommend using the quote command.

Highlight the paragraph you want to quote and copy and paste it into the comments box. Then put quote at the beginning and /quote at the end.


Copy&Paste:

Code: Select all
 
I want to quote this;
agraph you want to quo
as an example.


Then open the quote command with quote at the beginning, and /quote at the end of the part you've copied. All commands go inside square brackets.

Code: Select all
 
I want to quote this;
[quote]agraph you want to quo[/quote]
as an example.


And hopefully when you post it (or click preview) it will look like this:

I want to quote this;
agraph you want to quo

as an example.
