Suggestion for a citation tag
 

I would like to suggest a tag that would be similar to the [quote] tag, but would be used for citing other types of quotations, such as kernel source document file, a file in /usr/share/doc/packages, or a web site.

I have tried using the quote tag to make the citation stand out and to indicate that I am quoting, as in this recent post:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...63#post2645963

But the "originally posted by" description spoils the effect.

Thanks.

The code tag should do what you're looking to do.

Thank you for the prompt response. I have tried using both [quote] and [code] tags. The reason I wanted to use a [quote] like tag is to be able to have the source of the quote or code listed. I tried something like [code=/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/README] before but it didn't work.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd say that functionality is specific enough and close enough to code/quote that it's likely it won't make it into the code (we really try to avoid bloat). That being said, if demand changes in the future we'll certainly reconsider.

Thank you for the reply.
