What is the purpose of this plugin?

Comment Connection allows readers to follow conversations by automatically linking to comments that are replied to. This becomes especially important with longer conversations.

What symbol triggers the response?

The @ symbol currently modifies comments, though more options may become available later.

How does the plugin know when not to add a link?

In addition to the @ symbol, the reference must be followed by either a new line, colon or comma. This means that neither email addresses nor regular names are turned into a link unless it has the @ symbol.

Will the plugin work if I use a different case?

Yes. Comment Connection will still find the reference if the case is different. Ex. @john smith: will reference the comment by John Smith.
