Quotation Tags On Blog Post

[blackbox2342]

I'm wandering if you can see qoutations tags such as below:

Is it possible and if so how?

Many thanks in advance!

It looks like the html quote tag just puts quotation marks around the text inside the tag.

I imagine you could do what you want using CSS. You could probably copy the css from the site you gave the link to.

Yep, I tried this and it worked:

q, .myQuote {
background-color:#ECECEC;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
color:#29495E;
float:left;
font-size:0.9em;
margin:0 10px 0 0;
padding:8px;
width:710px;
}

Then you can put something like this on a page (without the spaces in the tags):

< div class="myQuote">this is a quote test.< /div> < q>Another quote using q tag< /q>

The browser still puts quotation marks around the text inside the q tag.

It only seems to work on a new page, not in a textbox. I just tried it in a forum reply and it works there. I'm not sure where else you could use it.

I'll be using this -- I'm glad you asked the question.

I wanted to be able to use it in blog posts, will the css editing work in blog posts?

Do I paste the css code into the body?

Thanks for your help in advance!

The css code goes in Manage->Appearance->Advanced.

Just paste this in there (I would put it at the bottom of the existing css code):

.myQuote {
background-color:#ECECEC;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
color:#29495E;
float:left;
font-size:0.9em;
margin:0 10px 0 0;
padding:8px;
width:710px;
}

Then you can put something like this on a blog post (without the spaces after the angle brackets in the tags):

< div class="myQuote">Your quote goes here< /div>

You're welcome

I implemented the code but it cuts the text off, any ideas?

[blackbox2342]

Never mind I got it!

If anyone is interested you just change the width size to around 510 pixels
