How to quote stuff

[YetAnotherNewName1000]

I know it must be possible 'cos pp do it. I'm on an ipad and if i use copy and paste, it just appears very small and in a different typeface. Other people get it in bold. How?

Instructions in the pic.

Copy the bit you want to quote, paste it into your message and put a at either end to turn it bold like this hello but without the gaps between the text and the s

Brilliant - thank you.
I've been using the app and it has the T (text)button which i use for bold, but then i had to type it all out...now i can cut and paste between 2 asterisks.
Can go to bed happy now

Morning!
