I don't know how to highlight
You 'wrap' the text in the 'bold tag'. This is done by placing the letter b inside these[] before the text (you want highlighted), and placing /b inside [] at the end of the text you want to highlight. To check if you did it properly, you can preview your post before you submit it and edit the tags if need be.

Quoting pretty much works like highlighting, except it uses the word 'quote' instead of the letter 'b'. So to open a quote box, you put the word 'quote' inside [], and you put /quote inside [] to close the quote box. If you want the quote box to appear with the name of the person you are quoting, inside the [] you put the word quote with the = sign next to it, then you put the name inside speech marks. It looks like this [quote="postername"]. As with quoting without the person's name, you need to put /quote inside the [] at the end of the quote.
Alternatively (and more easily), you can use the quote feature instead of the reply if you want to quote another user's comments in their entirety.
I hope this helps.
