These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# 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][link-to-message]
|
|
to the quoted message. Zulip automatically turns mentions in the quoted text
|
|
into [silent mentions](/help/mention-a-user-or-group#silently-mention-a-user)
|
|
to avoid unnecessarily mentioning someone twice.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can use [quote blocks](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown#quotes)
|
|
when quoting emails or other non-Zulip content.
