Comments
Comments use the same Markdown engine as publications with a deliberately smaller surface: everything for discussing content, nothing for composing documents.
Available in comments
- All text formatting: emphasis, inline code, strikethrough, subscript/superscript, definition lists, typographic dashes
- Lists and task lists, blockquotes, tables, footnotes
- Links and autolinks
- Full mathematics – inline and display
- Code blocks with highlighting and titles
- Mentions –
@handleto bring someone into a thread
Not available in comments
- No media: images, figures, video embeds, and iframes do not render.
- No block extensions: statement, admonition, spoiler, tabs, and TikZ
directives are not processed – the
:::lines show as plain text. - No attachments: comments have no file uploads, so no attachment chips.
So a comment can quote a formula, correct a derivation, or share a snippet – but a full treatment with figures and theorem blocks belongs in a publication of its own.
Example
The bound in the second display should be strict: for $n \ge 2$,
$$
\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{k^2} < \frac{\pi^2}{6}
$$
-- equality is only reached in the limit. @author, worth a footnote?
