I tried putting links in a comment in the ask.sagemath.org site using the standard markdown syntax [text](http://url.com/) but it consistently failed. I also tried using basic html, which also failed. I know that a url is automatically turned into a link, but that's not what I really want.

Since I don't have the reputation to test a comment here, I'll just ask the question:

How do you create links in a comment?

A markdown link to [google](http://www.google.com/) fails, but an automatically linked url http://www.google.com/ works! Simon ( 2011-03-19 03:46:03 -0500 )edit
There is no support for markdown in the comments yet. It must be minimal, for example headings should not be allowed. Added to feature requests. Evgeny ( 2011-03-19 11:25:34 -0500 )edit
Thanks Evgeny! Simon ( 2011-03-26 05:41:21 -0500 )edit

Yeah, that would be great. Also being able to upvote comments would be nice, ala http://mathoverflow.net/. Why is this a larger font?

The font issue will go away with the next upgrade. Now you can add simple markdown to the comments. The comment upvoting is already solved, I will deploy it on your site today.
