Quote Problem

bump

I have the same problem!

If offsetting the blockquote in a colored box (a la many blogs) is something you want to do as a standard, then the easiest way to implement it would be to use a CSS file to change the default style of blockquotes.

i'm using a plugin for posting code, and had to modify the css settings for a pre tag. it's a rather clunky way to simply quote something, as the plugin spawns a dialog window where you have to select options.

if you edit the css for a blockquote, then you relinquish the regular blockquote (should you ever actually want to use it).

does anyone know of a quote plugin? or perhaps a rich text editor that has a quote button?

You might be able to create a custom style for the Style drop-down that only applies to blockquote elements and will apply a style to the blockquote. I do this for TD elements, but I'm not sure if you can get the selection "Just Right" enough to do it for blockquotes...
