Comments box should respect line return + avoid '#'

[alexgarel]

• make ‘#’ automatically handled (do not show them in the front, let add them when saving)
• make the text box larger
• make it respect “\n” as lines

i wanna take up this issue , please assign me this issue

To explain point 1 and 3:
we have a comment field which contains something like:

# this is a multi
# line
# comment

Currently this is displayed as
# this is a multi # line # comment

So we should display it as:

this is a multi
line
comment

This may mean doing a transformation before displaying and before saving:

• before displaying: stripping the "#", replacing '\n' by '
  \n' (?)
• before saving: replace
  \n or
  by \n, add '#' as first char on each line
  (but it may also be implemented otherwise).

IMO it should be handled client side.

Do you mean the Comment box in this section?
So as far as I have understood, any new comments we add with the taxonomy editor (multi line comments), they are still parsed as a single line in the taxonomy.txt file?

yep, this one box :-)

Comments in the taxonomy editor are separated by newline characters. Any line not ended with a newline character, will be considered as one comment. (it's a similar system to python, if that makes sense)

In the screenshot, the description is a very long comment, which will be treated as a single comment. On the other hand, each translation has a newline associated with it, so they are multiple comments.

This one is outdated.

We finally conclude that comment are at the property level.

We need to have a general reflexion on how to display comments in the interface, and eventually make them editable.
