The editcomment.php script in /index/ now provides the same functionality to editors as the editcomment.php script in /indexmaint/ did. So, I have removed the [*] link and have replaced it with the [Edit] link when the editor is not the comment's author. When the editor is the author, it would be redundant to have two links, and only the regular Edit link is provided.

Instead of having a checkbox for Reviewed, it now has buttons called Approve and Disapprove. The former will update the Reviewed column with a true value, and the latter will update it with a false value.

Instead of having all the buttons show up all the time, only relevant buttons will show up, and only editors will get to see the extra buttons. The Approve and Disapprove buttons show up only if the person who posted a comment is not a registered user, and only the one that will change the value of Reviewed will show up. Likewise, Block will show up only for unblocked comments, and Unblock will show up only for blocked comments.

One change that affects authors too is that authors now have access to the Delete button to delete their own comments.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  1. An ordered list item.
  2. A second ordered list item with the same number.
  3. A third ordered list item.
Here is some preformatted text.
  This line begins with some indentation.
    This begins with even more indentation.
And this line has no indentation.
