Something that would be real handy for providing excerpts (rather than longer, complete copies of an article) would be a [ quote ] tag, to go along with [ b ], [ i ], etc.
To quote "correctly" as we have it now,I would have to go through and change quotes ( " ) to single quote ( ' ) in the original, then surround all with my quote marks.
Should be an easy add-on that would enhance lots of posts...
