It already highlights quotes and links. As for the rest, the D forum is not a 
free hosting service for pictures, videos, manuscripts, music, or project source 
code. There are free services for that (youtube, imgur, github, etc.) which 
you're welcome to link to from a post.

Posts should be short, on topic and to the point. Quoting of the antecedent 
should be minimal.

It's not useful for snippets of code. Worse, often people want to write 
grammatically incorrect code for purposes of illustration, highlighting that 
would be a nuisance.
