How to use the Quote feature and make Nice Links

(1/1)

Erica McPhee:
This is the sentence I want to quote.

Erica McPhee:
When you want to quote something, click on the "Quote" button in the upper right corner. The white comment box will come up and it will look like this:


BRACKET quote author=Erica McPhee link=topic=3772.msg50595#msg50595 date=1445996537 END BRACKET
This is the sentence I want to quote.
BRACKET /quote END BRACKET


The BRACKET is an actual [ ]. Then it tells who the quote author is, the link to the topic, and which message it is within the topic, and finally the date.

Erica McPhee:
so it will look like this when it is published:


--- Quote from: Erica McPhee on October 27, 2015, 09:42:17 PM ---This is the sentence I want to quote.

--- End quote ---

Erica McPhee:
Usually anything you want to do is within the brackets.

[command]
this is the text you want quoted...website you want linked...image you want showing, etc.
[/command]

This gives the formatting direction (coding). Whatever is between those two commands shows up.  :)

To make a nice link and use a word or series of words instead of just the URL, you can do this:

BRACKET url = http://www.theflourishforum.com END BRACKET Whatever words you want to click on /url END BRACKET
