Use the tags [noparse]

[/noparse] and

to enclose each part that you want to respond to. For example, typing the following...

[noparse]

[/noparse]The first part you want to respond to.

Your first response.
[noparse]

[/noparse]The second part you want to respond to.

Your second response.

...will look like this:

The first part you want to respond to.

Your first response.

The second part you want to respond to.

Your second response.

Note, the initial [noparse]"

"[/noparse] and final "

" are automatically inserted when you click the Quote button [PLAIN]https://www.physicsforums.com/Prime/buttons/quote.gif under the message you are responding to.

Thanks, Redbelly, for that help. Now a new question: How do I quote a post while including a quote included in that post?

To my knowledge, there is no standard way to do that. Whenever I want to retain nested quotes, I select and copy the text within the internal quote, then paste it in the reply, adding quote tags around it. If the nested quote is from another post in the thread, I use the multiquote button, then rearrange things in the reply box.
