Comment posting modes are not related to comment viewing modes. Instead, they determine how the text that you enter for a comment is interpreted and thus how it will be displayed to the reader. There are four post modes: • HTML Formatted: You determine the formatting, using allowed HTML tags and entities. • Plain Old Text: Same as “HTML Formatted”, except that
is automatically inserted for newlines, and other whitespace is converted to non-breaking spaces in a more-or-less intelligent way. • Extrans: Same as “Plain Old Text”, except that & and < and > are converted to entities (no HTML markup allowed). • Code: Same as “Extrans”, but a monospace font is used, and a best attempt is made at performing proper indentation. To “auto-link” a URL in HTML or Plain modes, enclose it in .
