When you are typing your reply and want to italicize the quote your are replying to, put a open pointed bracket symbol (<)followed by the letter i then put a closed pointed bracket symbol (>)behind it , then place a quotation symbol in front of the text string you wish to reply to. Follow the text string with another quotation symbol, then another pointed open bracket symbol (<), then a forward slash symbol (/), then another i, then another closed pointed bracket symbol (>).
To place a space in between this and the beginning of your reply, place a open pointed bracket symbol (<) followed by the letter p then a closed pointed bracket symbol (>).
Do this every time you want to form a space between paragraphs. The symbols are HTML code to display the text you are typing and will not show up when you preview or post your reply.
Thank you. Doesn’t happen often, but it can be a real PITA when it does, to read.
