Formatting in comments

[darthhellokitty]

On LJ, I use a Firefox add-on (LiveJournal Add-ons) for my comments to posts that allows me to select text, then right-click for a menu that includes formats like italic, bold, link, etc.

Is there anything similar for use in Dreamwidth? Is anything planned? I know I'm lazy, but I get tired of typing in all those brackets.

If you use the Firefox add-on LJ Hook (found here), you can set it up to work on Dreamwidth as well and it'll do much the same thing. Once you have it installed, pull up a browser page, right click on the page (I usually do it on a dreamwidth page to check that it's working), select LJ Hook, select preferences, select Clones Manager, and just add in dreamwidth.org. That should do it. Hope this helps!
