Comments tag
The <comentario-comments> tag is required to embed comments on a page
The <comentario-comments> tag is the second required element on a comment page (with the script tag being the first). It represents a web component that provides the comment functionality.
This tag marks the location for displayed comments.
After Comentario engine is initialised, the comments will appear inside the corresponding HTML element — as well as the profile bar, comment editor, and other relevant elements.
Customising the comments
You can further customise Comentario by adding attributes to the <comentario-comments> tag. You can use the Options button next to the snippet to open the option editor.
Comentario recognises the following tag attributes:
| Attribute | Description | Default value |

auto-init | Whether to automatically initialise Comentario | true |
auto-non-interactive-sso | Whether to automatically trigger non-interactive SSO authentication | false |
css-override | Additional CSS stylesheet URL, or false to disable loading styles altogether | |
