# Quotes in the old editor

{% note info "" %}

For information on how to work with quotes in the new editor, see [Block formatting](https://yandex.ru/support/wiki/en/wysiwyg/block-format.md#citata).

{% endnote %}

## Quoting a paragraph {#paragraph}

* To quote a paragraph, add the `>` character at the start of that paragraph.

* To create a nested quote, insert the `>>` characters at the start of the paragraph.

* Separate the quote from the following text with an empty line.

* You can use other kinds of formatting inside quotes, such as headings, lists, or a bold font.

Sample markups:

* ```
   >Quote text
   ```

* ```
     >First-level quote.
     >>Second-level quote.
     >
     >First level again.
   ```

* ```
     >#### Subtitle
     >* *First* item.
     >* **Second** item.
     >
     >`code snippet`
   ```

## Quoting a long text {#long-text}

* To quote a long piece of text, enclose the quote in `<[`and `]>`.

* This format also supports nested quotes and other markup elements.

Sample markups:

* ```
   >[First-level quote.
   >Second-level quote

   First level again.]>
   ```

* ```
   <[#### Subtitle
   * *First* item.
   * **Second** item.

   `code snippet`]>
   ```
