20088,Improve wp_list_comments() comment markup,lancewillett,markjaquith,"The default comment markup generated by `wp_list_comments()` needs a small revamp. This will potentially help theme authors avoid using their own comment callback functions by incorporating a structure popularized by the last two default themes.

Twenty Twelve, for example, could ''almost'' drop the custom comments callback in `functions.php` with these improvements, with the exception of not being able to use HTML5 semantic elements instead of `div`s.

Patch has code cleanup and improvements to the `comment-template.php` file, including:

`start_lvl()`

 * Use double quotes for HTML output

`end_lvl()`

 * Add in `.children` end element HTML comments

`start_el()`

 * Add switch statement for handling pingback/trackback first, to run before ""other"" types of comments
 * Add pingback/trackback HTML output based on Twenty Ten / Eleven: much simpler than normal comments
 * Wrap `comment_text()` in a div element so it can be styled separately
 * Change `comment-awaiting-moderation` to be wrapped in a paragraph element, removing presentational line break
 * Use updated `comment-meta` data based on Twenty Ten / Eleven:  include an author link (if it exists), better time/date formatting, and use `esc_url` instead of `htmlspecialchars`
 * Add in several end element HTML comments
 * Fix spacing around parens
 * Better indenting for PHP and HTML code throughout

`end_el()`

 * Fix spacing around parens
 * Add in `#comment-##` end element HTML comments",enhancement,closed,normal,3.6,Comments,3.3.1,normal,fixed,has-patch twentythirteen dev-feedback,obenland@… rachelbaker
