  <p>When you share a story on NewsBlur, sometimes the whole article isn’t the point. You want to call out a specific paragraph, a key finding, a sentence that made you think. Until now, you’d have to manually copy-paste text into the comment box and add your own formatting. Now you can select any text in a story, click Quote, and it drops into the share dialog as a styled blockquote, ready for you to add your own commentary underneath.</p>

```

### How it works

Select text in any story and a popover appears with the usual options: Highlight, Train, and Search. There’s now a new option: **Quote**. Click it, and the share dialog opens with your selected text rendered as a blockquote above the comment field.

Add your own comment below the quote, or just share the quote by itself. The share button updates to say “Share with comment” when there’s a quote or comment present. If you change your mind, click the × on the blockquote to remove it.

Once shared, the blockquote renders with a left border and italic styling in the comment thread, so other readers can see exactly what caught your eye before reading your take on it.

The quote feature works anywhere text selection is available: the story detail view, highlighted text, and search results. It’s available now on the web. If you have feedback or ideas, please share them on the [NewsBlur forum](https://forum.newsblur.com).
