MR template: remove comment markers?
@adam-mercer @duncanmmacleod I've recently seen several MRs submitted where people didn't understand that they need to remove the html comment markers (<!-- ... -->
) from the Description and/or other sections. (I only notice this because I have my mail client show notifications in plain text by default.) My suggestion is to simply remove the markers from the MR template and have the default text as plain text; people are more likely to notice left-over placeholder text and remove it than to realise that what they entered does not show up properly rendered.
I would have submitted a meta-MR about this myself, but I can't find the actual template; according to the docs it should be in https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite/tree/master/.gitlab but I only see a issue_templates directory in there, not a merge_requests_templates. (Different gitlab edition/version -> different directory structure, maybe.)
