Quotes are hard to read

[M. Demetrius]

You might consider entering the writer's name. When there are many quotes connected together, it's hard to know, after a while, as you said. Usually, just a few words, not a few paragraphs gets the info across, as those who want to can jump down to a previous post and get the rest of the text.

Make sure when you use the color feature that you have some part of the text you wantcolored highlighted. That way, the selected text gets the color code applied to that text. If there's a question about whether people will know whom you are quoting, you can make their name bold, as above.
