If you want to past formatted text in a post, you can either take a snip of it or use the Code symbol on the toolbar represented by the </>.

Here is an example of formatted text:

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
1249 PM EDT Thu Mar 17 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure moves across Ontario into Quebec today with its
cold front moving to the south shore of Lake Erie by sunrise
Friday. This front will become the track for low pressure that
is expected to reach northwest Ohio Friday night. This low then
continues to move northeast to Quebec by sunrise Sunday with a
secondary cold front arriving on Sunday.

 

Here's what happens if it is not formatted:

But wait, there's more.  See next post.

So let's say you use the "code box" and your post is too long.  A prime example is posting NWS observational reports.  It might look like the below. 

To place this info in a Quote or Spoiler, simply right click and copy the inside of the Code Box (you don't need to select/highlight the text), and paste into a Quote/Spoiler.  Scroll down to see how this looks.
