QGen

A simple, no-frills quote generator written in PHP.

Features

Puts square brackets plus space (> ) before each line of a text.
Copies the modified text to your clipboard. The jQuery code required for this is delivered via Google CDN. Feel free to host the code on your own server for privacy reasons.
No CSS, just old school HTML. 😎
