| Character Description | You Type | You Get |
|---|
| Ampersand | & | & |
| Greater than | > | > |
| Less than | < | < |
| Quotation mark | " | " |

Quote filter
Quoted content can be placed between [quote] tags in order to be displayed as an indented quote. Every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag. For example:
[quote]This is a simple quote.[/quote] is displayed as:
Quote: This is a simple quote. Additionally, there is an optional attribute which allows quotes to specify the original author.
[quote=Mr. Drupal]This is a quote with an attribution line.[/quote]
is displayed as:
Mr. Drupal wrote: This is a quote with an attribution line. Finally, multiple [quote] tags can be nested within one another. Just remember that every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag.
[quote]I think she says it best...
[quote=Ms. Quotation]This is a quote nested within another quote.[/quote]
but you can't argue with
[quote=Ms. Reply]The more quotes, the merrier.
Just don't get too carried away.[/quote]
And I have nothing more to say.[/quote] is displayed as:
Quote: I think she says it best...
Ms. Quotation wrote: This is a quote nested within another quote.
