Test Thread for using Quote

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Try quoting an earlier thread here or linking to another

Better give you a reply to try and quote.

You can also link to another reply rather than using quote by copying the reply number top left, then use the link tab like you did in the old forum to make it clickable such as #675746 which should take you to a post in the reply test thread or type a word rather than the number

Good thinking, Jason

This will be my first of several

This is me attempting to quote from another current thread [or do I mean topic?], by quoting its number:

An observation …

I found it impossible to sign that ^^^
because the BLOCKQUOTE doesn’t get closed

Takes a bit of fiddling around to use. When editing the fonts used in the quotes and in the comments look to be the same but when it is submitted there is a glaring difference in the fonts.

Here’s a not quite randomly selected snippet from an old thread:

First as a simple paste:

Michael’s ‘This is the most helpful document that I have found so far: **LINK** ‘ made this morning’s coffee delicious.

‘Automated optical inspection for the runout tolerance of circular saw blades’ describes a computerised optical jig for measuring radial and axial run out, repeatable to 2µm. The 2012 paper says the jig is innovative in that existing saw inspections are point contact methods, unreliable because the point wears out!

.

and now using the Quote facility:

Michael’s ‘This is the most helpful document that I have found so far: **LINK** ‘ made this morning’s coffee delicious.

Notes:

1. In both versions the **LINK** has downgraded to simple text
2. In both versions, the italic formatting of some text has been discarded
3. I still can’t see how to exit the BLOCKQUOTE … but it appears that Martin can
