Since HTML is officially dead on this board, I'm going to have to get creative in making an double level quote (quote within a quote). I noticed something when UncleBeer made a post which I assume has an attempt at a list. However instead of using[*], he used [1], [2] etc.

It appeared like this
  • [1] point 1
    [2] point 2

If I'm correct, that should appear indented with numbers in brackets instead of bullets.

Let's see what happens if I do that in a quote.

I Say this.

So it only works once.
