It's kind of easy to miss since the "textboxes" look like labels until you click on or mouse into them (possible CSS issue on our site tho?) I uploaded an image in my self-answer that shows the formatting options. Still not sure if this is enabled by default. See Eric Alexander's comment on my answer for rich text details. | |

| Sep 16, 2015 at 19:19 | comment | added | Adam Larner | Perhaps you could get around it by creating a new 'rich text - multiple lines' column for the comment content type (don't say that too quick!)? - But I'm not too sure whether the blog comments display view would be able to pick that new column up though. | |
| Sep 16, 2015 at 19:15 | comment | added | Adam Larner | You are certainly having better luck than me. I've tried in both Chrome and IE11, and the comment body is definitely not allowing rich text for me. | |
| Sep 16, 2015 at 19:10 | comment | added | nothingisnecessary | I'm not a sharepoint admin, so maybe this is an optional feature? But if I paste a full URL (including the protocol part) then it gives me the formatting options. I belive I was missing this before either because I pasted too much text at once or tried to use relative path since the linked content is on the same SharePoint site. | |
| Sep 16, 2015 at 19:03 | comment | added | Adam Larner | Ah in that case good find! I have tried playing around with it by directly adding the <a tag inside the comment text area as suggested, but it doesn't seem to work for me :-/ | |
| Sep 16, 2015 at 18:53 | comment | added | nothingisnecessary | Thanks for trying it out, but You CAN do it. It's just not at all obvious.. and for some reason seems to be either not documented or not widely used. Searching google for a while did not bear any fruit. But if you play around with it by typing out <a href="url">text it at some point automatically converts into a hyperlink and shows the formatting options. | |
