Including Quoted Text In Replies

How do I include text from the previous poster and embed it in my reply on this forum?

I.e., where the text is included in a shaded window?

TIA

I just did it, I think? Doesn't show up when 'Preview Post' button is activated.

What I do:-

But then please judiciously edit that which is being quoted so as to leave the minimum amount of quoted text needed to allow comprehension of your reply.

...or you can type [quote=person's name]include quoted text here[/quote "close square bracket".

If I typed the ] symbol, then you won't see the VB code!

This is useful if you want to quote someone who is not a ppruner e.g.
