Thinks Too Much

I know this can be done using CSS and turning the line conversion off, but suppose I wanted to show a part of an entry, for example, a quote from an article I'm referencing, without typing:

CODE

<p>I read in some article somewhere where Joe Blow said: <blockquote>"This is a quote that I said."</blockquote></p>

Suppose instead, I just typed the text of the entry, selected the quote pull, then somehow identified it as a quote (or code, or whatever). In other words, kinda like BBCode.

Could I do that?

Are you looking for how to style the quote, or just how to use the bookmarklet to automatically put blockquote around your selected text?

A sample style:

CODE

blockquote {margin: 5px; padding: 5px; background-color:#eeeeee; }

add target="_blank" to links - also info for putting container tags around selected text -- the example uses bold and italics.

Or if you want to use something more like BBCode, check out the QuickCode plugin.
