Currently quoting something italicizes the text, like so:
[b]Problem:[/b] what about those of us that would like to italicize something inside the quote for emphasis? By defaulting all text to italicization, it is taking away a common English literary trait, leaving (basically) only [b]bold[/b] and [u]underline[/u] for emphasis.
[b]Proposition:[/b] have it so the quoted text is no longer italicized and is instead emphasized (to show it is quoted text) by keeping the quote "" and indenting the text on both sides of the paragraph. An ASCII example:
[center]
Here be normal text for this demonstration.
"Here be quoted text for demonstration."
Text is here, because it can be and I felt like putting it here.
[/center]
In the above example, I had to take out a word to show the indentation, but pretend I didn't. ^_^;
P.S. Please let me know if this example is confusing...
