AA> AA> AA> AA> AA> -- AA> ../|ug The main problem are the users with smartphone small displays. For them the paragraphs should be in flowed manner. In this case citation marks will be good enough. Another problem is the changing of quotations level. You put AK>>>. Should be it be counted manually? Flowed paragraphs: -----Beginning of the citation----- AA>>>> I dunno. Here's ANOTHER way that AK's paragraph could have been quoted, and it seems very easy to "follow". AA>>>> AK>>> So I clarify how I did it: 1. You use Reformator as usual and make. 1. quoting for the message, you can add your text. All the quotes will consists of short lines. 2. You press "Unform. sel text" and you get the message with all lines flowed (one line paragraps). It is not necessary to select the text lines if you do operation for all the text. Don't forget that paragraphs should be separated by a empty line.. 2. I just tried it. Seems to be a fine solution. <<>> Works for me! ----- The end of the citation ----- --- tg BBS v0.6.3 * Origin: Fido by Telegram BBS by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58) .
