Partial quotes are easy. You hit the "Quote" button, then cut out the parts you don't want. :-)  It's a "trick" that I wish people exercised more, pretty much everywhere that electronic text is quoted.  Almost all of the time, I don't need to see the entire message quoted, and requoted, and....

To post more than one quote, one could copy the entire quotation, and paste it back in multiple times. Or copy and paste different quotations. Multiple browser tabs or windows can help with this. Then edit, as above. This is the simple-but-tedious method. The more sophisticated way involves working with the text in "source" view mode. You get to that in various ways that depend on just what you're working on; for discussions like this one, for example, you press the "[ ]" button below the editor window. If you do that with a message that includes quoted text, you can see that it's bounded by two tags:   and    . If you wrap parts of a message with those in "source" mode, when it's displayed in "visual" view mode or when it's been added to the wiki, each of the parts is put in its own quotation box.
