            Bug ID: 69698
           Summary: Commented out lines in httpd.conf are not ignored,
                    leading to unexpected effects when ending with
                    anti-slash
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.63
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: dvaldena...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi,

According to 

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/configuring.html

'Lines that begin with the hash character "#" are considered comments, and are
ignored.'

However, when the configuration file contains lines like this :

# /!\ this is a very important comment /!\
Include very-important.conf

The second line is considered as a comment, and ignored, thus the very
important configuration file is not included.

This is confusing since the syntax highlighting systems in vim (or vscode)
don't
color the line as comments.

Maybe this should be outlined in the documentation, because a change in
behaviour could trigger of lot of unexpected effects. Maybe a warning in the
error log ?

Thanks for your attention,
Best regards,

Denis S. Valdenaire-Poynter
