Add Prefix to Lines
A line prefix is text added to the start of every line, such as the > marker for quoted text in email replies and Markdown. This tool adds "> " (a greater-than sign and a space) to the start of each line by default, blank lines included. Set any other prefix, up to 100 characters, in the options.
Spaces count: "> " adds a space after the >.
Copies a link to this tool with these settings. Your text is not in the link. The settings come after the #, which browsers don’t send to the server.
