This is interesting. When I've used the Overleaf "rich text" front-end with non-LaTeX users, I found that they could add a comment via the web interface, and in the LaTeX source the same comment would look like this: % * <[email protected]> 2016-02-11T14:18:52.582Z: % % My comment text goes here... % % ^.
