Examples

A sample code line for a blog post that's on a Resource with no threading:

[[!Quip? &thread=`blog-post-[[*id]]` &threaded=`0`]]

A threaded comment thread, but only allowed to go 3 levels deep, and auto-close after 21 days:

[[!Quip? &thread=`blog-post-[[*id]]` &maxDepth=`3` &closeAfter=`21`]]

A comment thread, with threading, with Gravatars disabled, and only allowing logged-in comments:

[[!Quip? &thread=`blog-post-[[*id]]` &useGravatar=`0` &requireAuth=`1`]]

A comment thread, pagination enabled, having only 5 root comments per page, and a class on each pagination link li tag called 'pageLink':

[[!Quip? &thread=`blog-post-[[*id]]` &limit=`5` &pageCls=`pageLink`]]
