Comments are used to clarify posts or ask for more information.
They also support a very small sample of Markdown, to allow for the addition of links, bold, italics, and code font.
I would like to propose that the comment text field editor be in monospaced font, the same as the asking and answering text field, with the exception that a toolbar is not provided.
This will greatly help with organizing our comments, because editing comments in the default font may make users think that Markdown isn't accepted in comments, when really it is.
code markup
is possible in comments using the ` markGM_addStyle()
in Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey):.comment-form>form textarea {font-family: monospace;}
