                {% else %}
                {{item.UserName}}

            </blockquote>
            {% endif %}

            {% if item.Status != 1 %}
            该内容正在审核中，稍后可见。
            {% else %}
            {{item.Content|safe}} {# 注意这里使用 |safe 过滤器，以防评论内容包含HTML #}

• limit="10": Display 10 comments per page (or each display).
• order="id desc": Sort comments by ID in descending order, so the latest comments are displayed at the top.
• {% for item in comments %}: Traverse the obtained comment data.
• item.Status: Review status of the comment.1Means approved, other values may indicate in review or not approved. Usually, only approved comments are displayed for user experience, or a hint is given for comments in review.
• item.ParentIf this comment is a reply to another comment,item.Parentit will include the details of the replied comment, which helps to build the style of nested comments.
• {{stampToDate(item.CreatedTime, "2006-01-02 15:04")}}: Use.stampToDateThe filter converts timestamps into a readable date and time format.
• {{item.Content|safe}}: Display the comment content.Important reminder:User submitted comment content may contain HTML tags.To prevent XSS attacks, AnQiCMS defaults to escaping the output.If your comment editor allows users to submit rich text (with HTML tags) and you want these HTML tags to be parsed by the browser, then
