Code to show past comments in EditForm

Question

I created a new CustomEditForm using Sharepoint Designer 2013 and guidance from following site for my Custom List.

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Blogs/46897/adding-attachment-field-in-sharepoint-custom-form-2013.aspx

I created a new CustomEditForm and pasted the code from the link above to more easily add attachments to the row. But while I created a new CustomEditForm, I lost the view of past comments in multiple text row columns. We have versioning on so that we can follow who made a comment and when.

So if I use the default EditForm, the view for past comments are there but if I create a new CustomEditForm, the code for that view of past comments is not there.

Now I am looking for the code to add to my CustomEditForm to show the past comments in those multiple row columns (I have several multiple row columns in this one list). Could someone point me to the right direction?

I found a solution from here

social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../append-changes-to-list-data-not-showing-in-customised-edit-form

and the solution is to add

<SharePoint:AppendOnlyHistory runat="server" FieldName="YourCommentsFieldName" ControlMode="Display"/>

to the Place you want comments to show up.
