---+!! Templates for CommentPlugin

See [[%SYSTEMWEB%.CommentPlugin#Customisation][CommentPlugin: Customisation]] for help.

While this topic can be viewed as a TWiki topic, it is used by the CommentPlugin as a template file - see TWikiTemplates. The important content in here is in the verbatim blocks. The rest of the topic is just comments.

%ICON{"hand"}% See CommentPluginExamples to view rendered templates.

%X% A note on security with the [[VarURLPARAM][URLPARAM]] variable: Comments are passed along via URL parameters. They are safely encoded by default to reduce the exposure to cross-site scripting. To preserve user text "as is", and at the cost of security, you can turn off encoding by using =encode="off"= in the URLPARAM variable. The =newline=""= parameter of URLPARAM gets encoded with the same encoding as the actual URL parameter. In TWiki 5.0 and later you can specify =newline="$br"= to add a =&lt;br /&gt;=, regardless of the encoding used.

<div class="twikiBroadcastMessage" style="background-color:#ffc;">WARNING: THIS FILE WILL BE OVERWRITTEN WHEN YOU UPGRADE THE COMMENT PLUGIN</div>

Put your local templates into %SYSTEMWEB%.UserCommentsTemplate (create if it does not exist yet). *Local templates defined in that topic will override templates defined below.*
