Description
Describe the bug
For now, we use NcRichContenteditable for the input field to add and edit comments.
Follow-up for https://github.com/nextcloud/text/pull/8901
We should change this to use the ProseMirror/Tiptap editor itself. This would allow the same formatting tools as in the rest of the document and add support to use emoji autocompletion, mention users and so on.
One way would be to use separate editor instances with stripped down UI for the input field, another option would be to display the comments in a NodeView where the content can be toggled editable.
Server details:
- Nextcloud version: 35
