 * I also have visible HTML tags in comments that are showing in my forms. I want
   those to go away. Can anyone help me make those go away.

 * Hi,
    I add following code to functions.php at the bottom and tags disappear: `/***
   Remove the text – ‘You may use these <abbr title=”HyperText Markup * Language”
   >HTML</abbr> tags …’ * from below the comment entry box. */
 * add_filter(‘comment_form_defaults’, ‘remove_comment_styling_prompt’);
 * function remove_comment_styling_prompt($defaults) {
    $defaults[‘comment_notes_after’]
   = ”; return $defaults; }

 * Modifying theme files is not a good idea – as those changes will be lost when
   the theme is updated.
