See the button on the Post menu called
press it once, paste the text then press it again."quote"
you should see [ quote ] to start the quote and [ / quote ] to end it (with out the spaces) the same applies for images [ img ] www.web.com/pic.jpg [ / img ]
the slash indicates the closing of the action
