Seems like all HTML and tags are stripped when pasting in however there are options to format and comments do hold line breaks if directly entered into the comment box.
Please let the comments keep the line breaks and format when pasting comments from an external source
Just discovered this and it's been a nightmare! So often I want to reuse the same feedback with multiple students so I copy/paste but then all formatting is stripped. I use different fonts to distinguish between my narrative comment and lines of code.
