this has been discussed here in the past. the generally accepted idoim is:
<tmpl_if dummy_variable>
Place your comments here. And as long as dummy_variable is false,
(or never defined at all) your comments will be removed from the
output.
</tmpl_if>
a few have suggested that this is ugly, but I believe Sam's feeling was why
add syntactic sugar when this works Just Fine?
i myself would prefer the syntactic sugar, though. my suggestion was:
<tmpl_comment> ... </tmpl_comment>
recently i'v had to re-code a lot of cold fusion and while i abhor CFML in
general, i do envy some of the syntax. for instance (if you do't know CFML)
<!-- --> is of course a simple HTML comment that "shows up", while <!---
eith *three* dashes! ---> is recognized as a *server-side* comment, and
these are stripped out before the page is rendered.
pretty friggin handy!
