Feature Description

comments often share a lot of structure, things like custom html for embedding something in the comment, things like codeblocks and it would be great if we have some way of storing the commonly used snippets so that one can just type "<s" and insert a codeblock, or any other way... or we can show a dropdown list of snippets.

it might be a niche use case but i think it's worth discussing.

this would do, but it has to be accessible/auto-completeable from the editbox like # for the issues and PRs, maybe % would do?

ah, that is exactly what i want, down to the usecase. see i use gitea issues for documenting my thoughts in a timeline and the project to organize the issues based on various things, and labels as well. and i wanted to add the codeblock as details as it's taking up quite some space. so i wanted a quick way of inserting the codeblock inside details without having to retype everything over and over.
