Comments in document editors serve two distinct purposes: flagging issues and proposing replacement text. For the second use case, Onlyoffice currently has a gap: proposed text cannot carry the formatting it would need in the actual document - bold, italic, heading style, list structure, and so on.

This forces editors into workarounds: writing formatting instructions in plain text alongside the suggestion, or making tracked changes instead of comments. Both degrade the review workflow.

MS Word supports full font and paragraph formatting in comments. Parity with this behaviour would make Onlyoffice's review tools complete for professional editorial use - a common enterprise scenario and remove a concrete reason organisations cite when preferring Word for document review.
