[forum] A bq(ind). style for indirect blockquotes
I often find myself wanting to quote external content as a blockquote (i.e. a ‘displayed quotation’) which is different from quoting someone in thread conversation, which we already expect to see as styled in yellow.
It would useful to have a style option for such ‘indirect’ displayed quotations, something short, of course. Maybe using:
bq(ind).
Then style it differently from the ‘direct’ quotations of thread participants. I don’t think another background color would be good, as that starts getting busy (light gray, maybe, if anything). But a left border would be good, and a serif typeface?

Pleas open an issue on the forum repo if you wish to have features added. Otherwise they would get overlooked and forgotten on the forums. Cheers Destry.

Re: [forum] A bq(ind). style for indirect blockquotes
I agree with this as it can get confusing if you quote external sources and forum members in the same post. Not sure about the (ind) class name, though. But I can’t think of anything better. Umm, (ext) for external? Nahhh, dunno.
