Looking around for quote button for atto.
Anyone got one?
Other systems have quote buttons or quote available from the 'styles' menu so either would do.
There is a indent button that can be used instead of blockquote. There is a discussion of adding blockquote to styles in MDL-45662.
indent?
That indent button just adds some inline css (how very 2002!)
Looking for an actual semantic blockquote tag that inherits blockquote styling from the site css.
Hello Stuart,
Some people apparently liked 2002. I believe it was the Year of the Outback.
Could you elaborate more why blockquote would be preferred? There seems to do be some question whether it is necessary.
I believe Stuart's point is that adding a blockquote tag rather than inline style would more easily allow the theme to style the blockquote as required - whether that is a simple indent, or something more styled.
Is it necessary? maybe, maybe not.
Is it preferable to allow the theme to style these features rather than set inline styles? certainly.
To answer the question in the OP. I have been working on some code changes for the core, but have had some problems problems with testing, freezes, browsers etc. It might make sense now to separate the code I have done as a plugin if it would be able to get some wider testing. This would also make it available for 2.7-2.9 installations.
I think I have a finished version for MDL-45662, and have separated it to work as a plugin usable in earlier versions here. I would appreciated if Stuart, Richard or others could evaluate it for usability. In addition to adding blockquote as a style it will cause the blockquote to be removed by backspace delete at the start of a line. To install unpack and change the toolbar menu to use this plugin instead of the standard one and disable the indent plugin button.
I would like to have feedback on its usefulness and appropriateness of features particularly nesting of blockquotes and whether the escape mechanism works as expected.
Sorry, the link for the plugin is here.
