In 2014, a group of developers set out to close these gaps with a community specification they called CommonMark. However, neither Gruber&#8217;s original syntax nor CommonMark includes a Markdown-specific syntax for comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why many Markdown users have resorted to a workaround based on link reference definitions, which were already part of Gruber&#8217;s original syntax description. The technique is described in a <a href=\"https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/a\/20885980\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">popular answer on Stack Overflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link reference definitions belong to reference-style links, which let you define a link once and use it elsewhere:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Please refer to the &#91;Nextcloud Text repo]&#91;repo link] for more details.\n\n&#91;repo link]: https:\/\/github.com\/nextcloud\/text (Link to the Nextcloud Text repository on GitHub)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see in this example, <code>[Nextcloud Text repo]<\/code> isn&#8217;t followed by a URL in parentheses, as would be the case with an inline link, but by the label <code>repo link<\/code> in square brackets. Elsewhere in the document, a link reference definition assigns that label a URL and an optional title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what if you define a label and then never reference it in the text? In that case, its contents leave no trace in the final HTML. (In 2004, Markdown-formatted text was primarily meant to be converted into HTML.) So people started using unreferenced link reference definitions as comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Markdown is portable, straightforward to use, and readable both rendered and as raw text.\n\n&#91;comment]: &lt;&gt; (Hey there, I'm using link reference definitions for comments in Markdown!)\n\nHowever, effectively collaborating with others on a Markdown file requires some hacks and workarounds.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, <code>&lt;&gt;<\/code> serves as an empty placeholder URL, and the comment itself is the definition&#8217;s title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, this workaround was far from perfect: The syntax is cryptic for anyone who doesn&#8217;t know the trick, each comment line needs its own <code>[comment]: &lt;&gt;<\/code> prefix, certain characters such as unbalanced parentheses can break it, and not every Markdown parser or editor handles it the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we decided to implement a commenting feature in Nextcloud Text, we went with a more robust approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-we-implemented-markdown-comments-in-nextcloud-text\"><\/span>How we implemented Markdown comments in Nextcloud Text<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Nextcloud apps support Markdown syntax, but it is front and center in Nextcloud Text, our collaborative text editor that also powers Nextcloud Notes and Nextcloud Collectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the app&#8217;s collaborative nature, having a native option to add comments was a highly requested feature. Here&#8217;s how we made it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"all-in-a-footnote\"><\/span>All in a footnote<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Gruber&#8217;s original Markdown syntax description from 2004 lacked one aspect that was crucial for writing academic papers: footnotes. That&#8217;s why a community-driven extension introduced the <code>[^1]<\/code> syntax, which quickly became the de facto standard for including footnotes and is now supported by many Markdown parsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You simply place a caret and an identifier (can be a number, but doesn&#8217;t have to be) in square brackets where you want the footnote marker to appear, then define the footnote on its own line using the same identifier followed by a colon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>This passage requires further clarification.&#91;^1]\n\nBut this passage is self-explanatory.\n\n&#91;^1]: This footnote further clarifies the above passage.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image imageRoundShadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-01-new-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Footnotes in Markdown\" class=\"wp-image-440362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-01-new-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-01-new-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-01-new-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-01-new-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-01-new.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"markdown-comments-that-dont-break-portability\"><\/span>Markdown comments that don&#8217;t break portability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We took the footnote feature and, to make comments work with it, added syntax for comment replies, display names, Nextcloud user IDs, and timestamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To insert a comment in your Markdown file, simply click on the new speech bubble icon in Nextcloud Text&#8217;s toolbar. This will insert a comment mark at the current cursor position and the comment thread will open, allowing you to type your comment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image imageRoundShadow\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-02-new-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Comments in Markdown\" class=\"wp-image-440370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-02-new-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-02-new-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-02-new-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-02-new-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/10\/comments-in-markdown-screenshot-02-new.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the raw text, the comments will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>This passage requires further clarification.&#91;^comment-1]\n\nBut this passage is self-explanatory.&#91;^comment-2]\n\n&#91;^comment-1]:\n    - @&#91;Thorsten](mention:\/\/user\/thorsten) *(2026-10-05T13:14:57.626Z)*\n      Can we add a footnote here?\n    - @&#91;Thorsten](mention:\/\/user\/thorsten) *(2026-10-05T13:17:48.080Z)*\n      Following up on that, let's also provide a link to the source.\n\n&#91;^comment-2]:\n    - @&#91;Thorsten](mention:\/\/user\/thorsten) *(2026-10-05T13:18:05.184Z)*\n      Actually, I think this needs further clarification as well.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s break this down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list nc-list\">\n<li><code>[^comment-1]<\/code> marks the first comment thread created in the document, <code>[^comment-2]<\/code> the second one (these are actually footnote identifiers).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the end of the document, you get a list for each comment thread. Each item represents one comment in that thread and contains the following information:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A mention of the comment author that contains their display name and Nextcloud user ID, formatted as a Markdown link (e.g. <code>@[Thorsten](mention:\/\/user\/thorsten)<\/code>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The comment&#8217;s timestamp (e.g. <code>(2026-10-05T13:14:57.626Z)<\/code>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The comment&#8217;s content (e.g. <code>Can we add a footnote here?<\/code>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically, these are still footnotes, but Nextcloud Text&#8217;s Markdown parser recognizes them as comment syntax and interprets them visually, so you get the speech bubbles that signify inline comments as well as the UI for comment threads that lets you quickly type and add a reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advantage of using widely supported syntax for this feature is that comments inserted in Nextcloud Text are still legible if you open the file in another tool with Markdown support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the cherry on top: since Nextcloud Notes and Nextcloud Collectives are based on Nextcloud Text, these two apps now support Markdown comments as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"nextcloud-apps-a-true-community-effort\"><\/span>Nextcloud apps: a true community effort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markdown comments are just one of many features requested by the Nextcloud community that we implemented as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/nextcloud-hub26-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nextcloud Hub 26 Summer<\/a>.
