Does anyone use HTML when composing or editing messages here?

I was wondering why the HTML facility available in the message box (other than that Lithium designed it that way).  I used to dabble in HTML years ago when I had a personal website (as part of my BT Broadband package, but they eventually withdrew that).  It is not the most user friendly language & I was surprised to see it still on offer in the Community.

When I use a quote in my replies I sometimes like to edit the quote to select just part of the message that I want to comment on.   But then it is hit or miss  as to whether my comment commences within the scope of the quote and hence will be affected by any formatting applied by HTML Tags .  It would be nice if:-

(a) there were a selective quote facility; and

(b) the end of a quote could be clearly delineated by a line so that lazy people like me know where to start inputting text that will not be affected by any preceding HTML tags.

Yes sir!  was the first thing I did when I discovered there was supposed to be a line there that I could not see.
