Quote and reply

You can quote a previous message, either replying within a topic or to start a new topic.

The first line of the reply contains a permanent link to the quoted message. Zulip automatically turns mentions in the quoted text into silent mentions to avoid unnecessarily mentioning someone twice.

!!! tip ""

You can use [quote blocks](/help/format-a-quote)
when quoting emails or other non-Zulip content.
