<blockquote>"How do I quote a post when replying to it?"</blockquote>
That is to say, I put an opening <blockquote>, a double-quote character, a copy/paste of the text I want to quote, a closing double-quote char, then a closing </blockquote> tag. It renders like this:
"How do I quote a post when replying to it?"
...and now you can respond to the quote.
You can also use bold, italic etc tags to make it stand out more:
"How do I quote a post when replying to it?"
"How do I quote a post when replying to it?"

This approach (blockquote/italics, no quotes) sticks in my head as the most common way that quoting tends to be done around here... but it also just happens to be the method I use, so that may skew my perception.

This lets me quote something from the post I'm replying to (so it's italicized and indented)‚ followed by my own response after that.

Do you mean to link another node/post?
Use [id://NODEID]
Examples:
[id://11103240] → Quote another post
or with alternate text
[id://11103240|alternate text] → alternate text

There is no standard, only the blockquote tag (which is optional)

I wrote a nodelet-hack facilitating this and other things, choroba and discipulus are among the users.
You'll find it linked in my signature down here named as "Wikisyntax"

... and pasting the URL of a local node will automatically transform into it's the proper [id://123456789] format.)
so https://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=11103184 will become [ID://11103184] and display as Missing error under strict | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] [d/l] [select] |

do you have JS activated?
update
And the "Free Nodelet" must be activated at Nodelet Settings (updated the main post)
