I think it is possible to amend the buildQuote function, but the more of that quote code you remove the less functionality it will have.

Eg.

`[quote="Juraj Štefánik, post:3, topic:233145, username:Juraj_Štefánik"]`

`[quote="Juraj Štefánik"]`

> [@Juraj Štefánik](#):
>
> I want the text to be replaced by only quotation marks and the functionality to remain

`[quote]`

> [@](#):

> I want the text to be replaced by only quotation marks and the functionality to remain
