on fr, a border (in css) has been added (I don't remember who did it) to emphasize indentation.
It is not always very clear, but it's a bit better.

Hello
While signing a contribution in a discussion page makes it clear when that contribution finishes it is *not* clear where it starts.
Usually it is recommended to use identation, however some users sometimes use indentation in their editing in order to emphasise a point. So could a here starts my contribution-tag be implemented?
One possibility could be
'''Re: [[User:Foo]]''' where [[User:Foo]] is the signature of user Foo.
I can do something like this with my editor, but it would be nice and helpful to have it implemented.

Thanks, but the problem with this is that if I use indentation myself it would get that border as well which is very confusing!
Consider the following example:
In the main article the following is problematic: : ''Fermat proved his theorem himself'' as we know this is incorrect, etc etc
You see I cite a text in the article and according to the CSS it would get that border.

The solution here is very obvious: a different syntax element is needed for user replying, so the different semantics of the two cases can be distinguished. The most obvious element would be >.

I agree, the question is, could that be easily implemented in the CSS?

This is why this CSS stuff has only been activated on talk pages on fr.
