In the editor, click the button to the right of "Editor" to show or hide the formatting options.
In the first step, the comment should be entered or inserted.
In the second step, the desired formatting can be set.
Then the desired text passage in the comment can be selected and with a click on the check button the set formatting is applied for this text passage.
The formatting can of course also be typed directly by hand as text.

It is possible to switch between "Editor" and "Preview" to check the final result before finally saving the comment with the disk button.
