The format option is per-comment, and you can’t edit it after posting it. Each comment can have a separate format, so it resets to its default when adding another comment. It’s somewhat confusing that adding a comment is part of the “edit” function, because most of what’s on the page is “edit,” but the new comment bit is “append” only. > This lead me a number of times to mangle tickets descriptions (let wiki > formatting beacons show up in plain text) just because I didn't notice this > fact at first and did not set the format back to what I guess it was before. I use mixed comment styles all the time. Mostly, it’s because I set something like wiki format for the initial well-thought-out comment, and then if I later add comments, I’ll be lazy and do it in plain text format. I have never managed to get Fossil to change the format of the original comment by appending a later comment. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
