Where is the gray backgound selection we used for defining quotes or copied articles?

I do not like this new Yellow Highlight option. Was there anything wrong with the gray background method we have been using for 20 years? Was it just eliminated for the purpose of "change"? The yellow is terrible.

At best it should be a soft yellow, not a glaring ugly yellow.

I tapped the quote marks above to start the gray

And tapped it again to end the gray.

This is a test selecting the yellow box icon for highlight.

This is a test selecting the icon with the large quotation marks. This looks like the gray background you're looking for.

What I want to know is how to post a picture or image without having to hot-link.

If you prefer to type manually, surrounding text with [excerpt] [/excerpt] will put that content into a grey box.
