Basic Comment Preview

Demo: https://vincenttam.gitlab.io/bhdemo

Technologies used:

1. KaTeX math rendering (I added some more popular delimiters to the default ones.)
2. Showdown Markdown parsing

Limitations:

• Hugo and Showdown have different flavor of Markdown by default
• Custom KaTeX macros are not supported unless you inject them into where renderMathInElement is called.

Staticman Nested Comments

Demo

New functionalities

• Add support to nested comments, based on dancwilliams/networkhobo@07033e0
• Add some basic CSS code for backreferencing
• Add a "reset" button to clear form data and reply target

Bug fixes

• dancwilliams/networkhobo#373
• halogenica#221

Backward compatibility

• Compatible with existing posts
  • Visual output: a "reply to ..." link is added
  • Working principle: existing comment data stored as YAML files with missing fields replyThread, replyName, replyID won't cause an error while in {{ if not .replyThread }} in the template layout file.
• It can be merged with the main branch.
