Description

It is a common practice that most of the blogs allow their users to comment the published posts. The ability to comment is usually represented by a simple form with a textfield for the comment’s content. That textfield allows users to write a comment and add some basic styling to it (e.g. bold, underline) and comment on particular quotes from the text. The ability to include images in the comments is gaining popularity.

Notes

  • It is almost impossible to predict every possible type of an article comment, therefore there is no strict set of elements that will be included in the content.
