💖 What it does
Adds buttons on top of comment boxes, to easily insert the HTML for formatting the comment text.
Below the comment box, adds a preview of what the final comment will look like.
🪴 How to use it
After installing the script, open the configuration dialog to change the settings. Touching the code is not needed.
The button bar is added on:
- Comments on works (posting and editing)
- Comment Replies on works (posting and editing) as well as when replying from the AO3 Inbox
- Summary, Notes and End Notes when posting or editing a work
- Bookmarker Notes when adding or editing a bookmark (new!)
- My Sticky Comment Box script (no preview to save space)
- My View and Post Comments from the Bin script for tag wranglers (no preview to save space)
🎨 How to configure it
On a page with comments, for example a work or your AO3 Inbox: in the main navigation of AO3, next to “About”, there’s a new menu item “Userscripts”.
From the “Userscripts” menu, select the “Comment Formatting Buttons” option.
A configuration dialog opens. Here, you can set your preferences.
- Deselect any of the standard buttons that you don't use
- Add custom buttons, for all your repetitive commenting needs (follow the instructions within the GUI to add buttons)

🏅 Credit
It's inspired by the popular Comment Formatting Options script, but I created my own version from scratch, trying to fix issues I'd noticed and to add some new features.
