I created (or rather modified) some code to allow for quicktags, so commenters can have bold, italic and code text, amongst other features.
I also added in abbr and acronym tags, just for fun.
Today, I made this even more kick-ass.
If you select some text, and click on abbr or acronym, and there is a valid acronym in the list in the script, it autofills the definition in the dialog for you.
I got rather excited after doing this. But, I’m a nerd.

Note: The seperate Quicktags toolbar is not supported. Please use the full toolbox script, or hack it any way you like. The remainder of this post remains for posterity only.

Anyway, you can get the button version here, and the CSS link version here. Remember to Right-click and download, rather than just clicking on them.
Ah - so you are the guy to takes his time to answer all the annoying questions from newbies like me on the forum? If yes, thank you greatly - much appreciate it.
I really like your comments set up - so for another annoying newbie question, can you tell me where to paste it into my code so this will work in my blog?
Thanks
Jeanette

My pleasure.
See this post for an updated way of doing it.
It needs to go into the Comments template file.
I put the first fragment just before the
<textarea>, the second area just after it.This post has the original instructions, if you wanted to download and install your own copy of my file. This is not really necessary, so long as I keep the file in the same place, which I will for the forseeable future.
