This might be is difficult to combine with usenet style quoting, and I 
actually never had a feature request for this. I am already creating 
links from URLs and doing some basic formatting for _this_, /this/ and 
*this*, that seems to be sufficient.

Another reason for why I don't need and want a full markup system is 
that I don't want the users to abuse the forum as a content management 
system (like it is often done with phpBB), because a Wiki is much better 
suited for this task.
