Using Three Backticks To Quote Messages in Google Chat

If you’re using Google Chat, you may have noticed that when you type a message, three backticks “` before and after the quoted message. For example:

 ``` this is the quoted message ```

This is actually a feature of Google Chat, and it allows you to easily quote (or paraphrase) a message in the same chat room. To use this feature, just highlight the text you want to quote and copy it. Then hit the three backticks keys and paste the text and hit three backticks again after the message.

Although it seems quite manual but it is still a handy tool for making sure that your message is accurately quoted, and it can be a lifesaver if you’re trying to remember the exact wording of a message you received.
