how to modify comments form

Question

how i can modify comments form, my theme just call:

<?php comment_form(); ?> 

Answer 1

Do you mean modifying its text or behavior? The function is very extensive and customizable. It both accepts extensive set of parameters and has a lot of hooks.

For starters see:

• comment_form() in Codex;
• WordPress 3.0 Theme Tip: The Comment Form.

Answer 2

Can you be more specific regarding what behavior you want to change? The answer will be specific to your needed modification.

Answer 3

I wrote a very in depth tutorial at Pro Blog Design.com that covers this topic.
