If you want to quote the whole lot, click the quote button at the top right. If you just want a selection, copy it and then open your post, click on the "quote tab just above the text box and then paste your text bbetween the brackets, so you end up with (quote)the text i want quoted(/quote) except it's the square brackets [ ] not the bendy ones.

I think this is an option in your Preferences.
