How does one quote? Form urls? And all those other cool things I've seen people do? Are there any help files or documentation anywhere? If so it's well hidden. I even tried the bbPress link - everything I never wanted to know about installing the software, nothing about how to use it. Very frustrating.
Where can I find help docs for this forum?

If you look below the
Send Post
button on every reply box, you'll see a list of allowed markup. That's all you need.bbPress uses HTML tags instead of BBCodes like most other forums use. If you're not familiar with HTML, then:
The anchor tag is used for posting links, like so:
< a href="http://google.com"" >Google< / a >
the href attribute refers to the URI of the link. The text between the > and < is the text that will display.
To quote someone, copy and paste it between:
< blockquote > and < / blockquote >
There are other tags, like em, strong, ul, ol, and li. They refer to italics styling, bold styling, un-ordered lists, ordered lists, and list-items. You can learn more about them on w3schools.com.
EDIT:
bbPress has weird processing. Remove spaces before/after <, /, >, etc. for valid syntax, or look at w3schools.com for examples.

Thanks very much. I had seen those words but it wasn't clear their context was. I can do HTML in my sleep and I know what HTML stands for, and yet the word "markup" didn't ring any bells.
