Markdown in Comments

[ramseyr]

OK, I searched all over the place and I can't seem to figure out how to enable markdown in my comments? I have it enabled for image notes and it works but not on the comments. I did a complete search with bbedit grep tools and can't find it anywhere in the code. Am I missing something? All I want to do is edit some of the comments people leave and say thanks, blah blah blah and I would like to use markup to make my text standout from theirs.

Help!

markdown is not supported as far as I know.

I found this in the 1.6 Changelog

Comments

* Bug fix with twice much <br /> in comments visible on page
* Markdown enable/disable
* Comments for an individual picture can now be disabled through editing picture properties or set when uploading a picture
* User comments with the same mail address as the admin mail address get a new style <li class="admin_comment"> to differentiate
* Fixed comment redirection when $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is empty
* Added new functionality: direct redirection after posting comment (without "thank you screen"); it needs <input type='hidden' name='withthankyou' value='no' /> in comment form (in template file)

Yes, Markdown is supported.
In version 1.6 you have to enable it under the Options > Enable Markdown.

If this is all you wish to do, than in Pixelpost v1.6, as long as you fill in the email address field when making a comment and it matches the email address saved within the admin panel, you can set a class in your CSS file called .admin_comment

I did enable it but that is only for image notes and not comments, I think. If I'm wrong please let me know.
Thanks

I to was under the impression that it was for image notes and not for comments.

But hey, I could be wrong.

The change log for 1.5 to 1.6, under the comments section, says "Markdown enable/disable" The options section of the admin panel, under markdown, says, "Should Pixelpost enable Markdown feature in Image description?" The former seems to indicate Markdown enabled for comments, the latter only for the description. When I have it enabled though it doesn't work for the comments.

[Dennis]

That would indicate that markdown for comments is not implemented. Like I said, that was my initial guess ;)

Hi,

I was searching for this addon too. But it seems that still no such a addon is out yet.

There is such a possibility in aminus3 so you can answer back to your commenter.
