    Never Mind, I found it. Under the Paragraph dropdown there is an option for "quote" which basically just adds a ">" to the beginning of the text. Be sure to hit return before moving on to what you have to say.

    Apologies if this is very well known, I guess I'm just a n00b when using forums ;-)

    That is correct, @johnnywoz. And you can refer to another person, as I just did, by including for example @johnnywoz. If you want to link to some other post or comment, you can get the link to the specific comment by right/control/command clicking on the time stamp displayed for their comment, such as https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/466054/#Comment_466054

    The formatting of posts uses some variant of Markdown, the same thing that you can use to format Secure Notes in 1Password. For security reasons we only use a subset of Markdown. So links must be transparent about what they link to, and we don't allow inlining any remote content.
