Please will someone help me out with quotes. Everyone else seems to be able to put them in neat blue boxes but I can't work out how to do it.
Thank you

You can see why I've never attempted quotes!!
Yes Tim I can quite see why - but everyone else seems to manage it so I'm determined not to give up. :)
Yes P, I did see that message then I deleted all the extraneous stuff - did I delete the little blue box too! ???
Thank you MM
Just make sure you don't delete the extra bits at the beginning and the end of the quote.

Thank you too Palustris.
Yes - thanks, Eric. Fiddly, isn't it??
Now we can both do it Tim, two birds with one stone can't be bad! :)
The bits in the square brackets at the beginning and end of quotes are the tags that make the magic blue box appear. Make sure you have them and you'll be fine.
