A button for the tag blockquote

BlackWinny · 03-21-2025, 07:24 PM

Hi Kovid,

In the toolbar of the comment editor of the Metadata editor for one book, in a next release could we have a button for the HTML tag <blockquote>, please? (beside the two buttons for indentation for example)

It's a humble suggestion... which would help me save a lot of time, having frequently many "Blockquote" to use in the comments of my books.

Thanks a lot!

If you'd rather not, don't worry.

It is on the H</> menu Pulldown

I use a snippet. See image.
You still need to close off the tag though. Typing </ will automatically close it off.

Yes, as all the closing tags in HTML.

The tool that you use seems to be outside Calibre. Which tool do you use, please?

Sorry for the inconvenient. English is not my native language and I thought this sub-forum was also for suggestions of development.

You forgive me?
