On the topic of automatic linking back to a post...

[julian]

... this just got implemented in core, and in Persona (not Vanilla):

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/commit/e75a9ec87e1ad2dbcfa26c42675aef10dd9d457c

Looks a bit like this:

It provides a quick link back to the post you were replying to, and.. judging by the screenshot, I'm not so good at hitting the smaller reply button (the bigger button doesn't save the post association)

@3rd-Party-Developers, this is how you can implement it in your theme:

@julian Would be great to have something to insert selected text on the page as a quote

It's already possible but not really elegant, you can select a piece of text while the composer is open and hit the reply button and it will insert as quote.

Ou, I didn't know about such feature.
Maybe tune it a bit, and change UI when there is a selection on the page/post entry?

Thanks for addind this @julian
Does it work with multiquote?

[julian]

It is not a feature of the quote (as that is purely just text, nothing special at all), but a property of the post itself.

Each post can be a reply for another post, but only one at a time.

@julian i see. Only 1 to 1
It gets a litte messy on multiquote but I like the way to link a single reply

Taking a closer look at the code, its hidden on mobile view using hidden-xs.

btn btn-xs btn-default hidden-xs

The reason why its hidden... no clue. Maybe to keep noise down the a minimum. Any how, its easy to add back just by removing the hidden-xs part.
