I think it would be useful if the [tag:] tag-linking syntax worked in comments.

[tag:...] and [meta-tag:...] now work in comments, with the same semantics as in posts. They are however not styled as tags, but as plain links (with the link text being the tag name); we don't want excessive styling in comments.

@Michael: I was wondering how doable that would be—is there a userscript somewhere that does that?– IsaacJun 7, 2011 at 16:25

@Isaac No idea; I just did
$('a[href*="/tagged/"]').addClass('post-tag');. An actual script should probably put some effort into the URL part Jun 7, 2011 at 16:27 -
1@Michael: I put a small modicum of effort into it—about 10 minutes' worth—and here's the result, which I've got installed myself, more because I like the tag hover popup than because I want tags styled like tags (though I do like that part, too).– IsaacJun 9, 2011 at 5:46

The [tag:] syntax generates objects slightly taller than plain text and causes some modest layout artifacts. I suspect these would be pretty distracting in the comments, so I'm not very motivated by this idea.

2Perhaps with the size adjusted to be in scale with comments? (I hadn't thought of this because it occurred to me on an SE site where tags do not have a surrounding box.)– IsaacDec 11, 2010 at 22:35

Seems like a pretty easily surmounted issue to me. I know you couldn't just slap a CSS border on there and call it good, but it's hardly a difficult problem. Jun 6, 2011 at 14:25
