Are there plugins or theme components to make working with quotes easier?

AI-generated summary

MSealey is seeking a plugin or tool to make working with quotes easier, specifically to quickly surround shorter sections with [quote]/[/quote]. Falco suggests using the “highlight to quote” feature, where you can pre-select specific paragraphs to quote and interleave your responses. Falco further explains their personal workflow and mentions the full quote button in the composer toolbar, which can be used to quote an entire post.

I find I’m spending more and more time in Discourse forums.

I also spend a lot of time segmenting others’ posts during editing in order to surround shorter sections with [quote]/[/quote].

Is there a tool, plugin or add-on etc to make this quicker and easier, please?

I like using our highlight to quote feature

Thanks, @Falco!

I have always highlighted the whole message and then split it up manually - adding the quote directives.

What I think you’re suggesting - thanks! - is to go through and pre-select only those paragraphs which I’d want to reply to and interleave my responses, isn’t it?

I’d never thought of that :slight_smile: .

Yes, exactly. My personal workflow is to select each, add a reply below, and then select the next one.

In the case you need to quote a whole post, you can use the full quote button in the composer too. It’s the first one on the composer toolbar

Much appreciated!
