The hover text on the images is just icing on the cake - since it would take quite a bit of time to do all of them I probably wouldn't expend the effort for a whole Top 10 list. As you can see above, the stuff you would need to change is in bold - the name should display as all caps no matter what the case of the letters you paste in.
It looks like you are using a word-processor to do your writing, it shouldn't be too difficult to create some macros to insert the code and then just replace the name or quoted text. You could also use a browser add-on to insert text in the DU message text box - I use Paste Email Plus for FireFox.
I replied here instead of a PM because I can get the square brackets for the code to show up in a post but not in a PM - and I don't like doing this when it can't be copied directly and I need to tell people to do it just like that except with [ ] instead of <>.
