You can see how this turns comments dysfunctional in this recent thread [1] on Responsive Images. >>> >>> Could we install some plugin [2] or set some pref to disable HTML in comments? I think that would be far more useful for our community. Or, if possible, a checkbox to allow them to selectively turn on or off comments? >> >> We have a plugin installed I believe.

I think it needs switching on wiki-by-wiki, but I can vouch that it has been really useful for the Web Schemas work already, and encourages people to create and improve examples. I'm not sure if it's standard for CG's but if you're considering that, +1 from me. cheers, Dan >>> [1] http://www.w3.org/community/respimg/2012/05/11/respimg-proposal/ >>> [2] http://www.theblog.ca/literal-comments >>> >>> Regards- >>> -Doug >>> >>> >> >> -- >> Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ >> Tel: +1 718 260 9447 >> >> > > -- > Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ > Tel: +1 718 260 9447 > >
