This is just doing manually what the software does automatically whenever you click the "Quote" button. You can also use a combination of these two methods to address several ponts in a post one at a time. For instance, if I clicked "Quote" on the first post in this thread, the code would look like this:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>ponch21 said:
How do you guys get the cool boxes in your responses? I think they are great when
Oracle wants to slam me on what I say, it is easily discernable from his response. </pre><hr />
.....which gives this block displayed in the response:

However, if I wanted to address each sentence separately, I could break them out into two quote boxes using the code that Doc mentioned. To do that, I would just need to use the ubb codes (tags) between "....responses?" and "I think...", like this:

Response 2.
You may notice that I never add an extra second carriage return after the [ /quote] tag, but the extra space still shows up on the post. That's because the software automatically provides one carriage return to create that empty space (an extra line) after a quote.
Clear as mud?
