issue with quoting text

[patrickgpe]

i have seen this for a while and was wondering if this is a bug in yuku or something wrong my computer. When i want to quote text from another website in a box, i can't move the mouse out of the box. Is this a known bug?

The workaround is before you quote text from another website in a box, hit a bunch of carriage returns and paste the stuff before those carriage returns. I'm not sure if I'd call it a "bug", but more of a side effect of the GUI editor Yuku uses.

 

It is annoying tho.

Are you saying that you paste some text, put it in a quote box, then can't continue writing under the post box?

 

If that's the case, just to be sure I don't get stuck I'll...

• Paste the quote.
• Right after the quote (without even a line break), I'll start typing my next sentence or type an extra character or two.
  
• Select the text I'd like to quote (excluding the follow-up sentence/characters).
• Hit the quote button.
• Continue to type below the button, replacing the extra characters if necessary.

Brian's method should be fine, too. Give yourself a lot of extra line breaks, do your work in the midst of them, then close up the extra white space later.

 

If you get stuck or prefer this alternative anyway, hit the HTML view button (just to the left of the Spellcheck), start typing your next sentence (or a couple replaceable characters) after the closing blockquote tag (), then hit the HTML view button again to return to normal mode, and continue typing.

 

Another option would be to use the Quote bbcode. Examples:

 

[quote]This is quoted text[/quote]

[quote=Chris]This is quoted from Chris[/quote]

 

You'd probably want to hit preview to make sure your white space is the way you want it.
