A few days ago I tried quoting a text that contained another quote (I needed both for my reply, so I couldn’t skip the latter one.), but got an error message. Quoting the post without the second quote worked however. Did I make a mistake or is it not possible to quote a post that contains another quote? |

Using single quotes or even brackets may help clarify things without causing punctuation repetition problems.
For example: Bill said that "Fred objected to John's statement 'A equals B in this situation' by pointing out that B equaled C and C did not equal A".

Testing: first, a simple quote.

Works for me. You have to type in the formatting manually, though, and paste only the text. Did you remember to put two } brackets at the end? |

Most probably I didn't. Thanks Annie.  |

Would it be possible to have a "quoting" button, perhaps next to the "link" button?

Just practicing a little formatting here but I do think Darisina's suggestion is a good one, given the amount of quoting that goes on around here.

I know, I know... but I'm so terribly out of everything (meaning stressed out, busy, just flat on my face) that I have prescribed myself board abstinence for a while.
When I'm capable of doing a project again, and the quote button does require a bit of programming, this will be my first and foremost priority.

Good enough for me. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not simply endured.
