 * The correct code is so:
 *  **if ( $comment ) {
    $format .= ‘{comment}’; }

 * No, it has the semi-colon in front as it follows the post title or author. So
   the resulting format would be, for example:
 * {author}: “{comment}”
 * Which would a final comment something like:
 * John: “Great post, thanks”

 * This is original code:
 *     ```
       if ( $comment ) {
          $format .= ': “{comment}”';
       }
       ```

 * Hi,
 * It looks like you have some extra CSS for the comment excerpt which is breaking
   the display: [https://prnt.sc/ilszat](https://prnt.sc/ilszat)
 * If you remove that it looks a bit better. You also have some extra <div> tags
   around the comment author. Again, remove these and it will work as advertised.

 * Yes, is true. The change I made seems to me more correct for my site.
