Something I am baffled at is how to quote a post on this website so that a vertical line segment appears to the left of the quoted text. I have a guess, but I don't want to clunky failed HTML attempt show up.
becomes:
Thanks!
Also, it's not great if a failed html attempt shows up, but it's no disaster-- this site doesn't have preview for comments, and I expect I'm not the only one who might take a comment through several edits before it's probably cleaned up.
In any case, comments here use Markdown (most common features are non-obviously available from the Help link on the lower right of the comment box), not html.
I don't have a complete grasp of how to format posts, but there's an html tag at the top, so you can just write them in html.
Also, is there any formatting guide for this website more detailed then the one you get by clicking on the help link?
Here's the spec for Markdown, the comment formatting language used here. (Not all of the syntax is available here — e.g. raw HTML isn't allowed, and I don't think headers are permitted in comments — bur most of it is usable.)
Here is a markdown sandbox, for you to experiment, though I agree with Nancy.
