Remarks

A comment is an annotation which is anchored to a region of text or to a position in text. A comment can contain an arbitrary amount of block-level content.

If a Comment object occurs on its own, the comment is anchored to the position of the Comment object.

To anchor a comment to a region of text three objects are required: Comment, CommentRangeStart and CommentRangeEnd. All three objects need to share the same Id value.

Comment is an inline-level node and can only be a child of Paragraph.

Comment can contain Paragraph and Table child nodes.

Examples
Shows how to add a comment to a paragraph in the document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.Write("Some text is added.");

Comment comment = new Comment(doc, "Amy Lee", "AL", DateTime.Today);
builder.CurrentParagraph.AppendChild(comment);
comment.Paragraphs.Add(new Paragraph(doc));
comment.FirstParagraph.Runs.Add(new Run(doc, "Comment text."));
Examples
Shows how to add a comment with a reply to a document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Create new comment
Comment newComment = new Comment(doc, "John Doe", "J.D.", DateTime.Now);
newComment.SetText("My comment.");

// Add this comment to a document node
builder.CurrentParagraph.AppendChild(newComment);

// Add comment reply
newComment.AddReply("John Doe", "JD", new DateTime(2017, 9, 25, 12, 15, 0), "New reply");
