I have never really used the tag system, so perhaps this is a dumb question. Which pages do get these tags? The purpose of the page we are commenting on here was to solve the problem that Diagrams in Comments often have been pushed very much backwards, so that you have to scan through several pages of Comments to find them. And even where this is not the case it could become like that in the future. The number of Comments preceding them can only increase. When using the overview page it would open the relevant comment directly, in isolation, so that there can also be no interference with Diagrams that might have been posted close to it, and are displayed on the same page.

If the tags would only bring you to the main page of the article, it would not really solve this problem.

Of course Diagrams could be moved to the main page. But there often is a reason that I posted those in a Comment. Usually because they could not implement the rules perfectly, or I considered them sub-standard in other ways. The long-term goal is to equip nearly every article with an I.D. on its main page, and then all problems would have vanished completely. We would not even need a tag, because it would go without saying that people can expect an I.D. in the article. But this would require still significant work to be done on the Diagram script.

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.
