New issue 997 by [email protected]: Allow comments in the *** Variables ***
section
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=997
Most elements in our application do not have a good name or id so I am
having to use xpath. In order to facilitate any future changes to our
application I am creating an object library to define all objects.
I would like the ability to add comments to these. I currently have a
workaround by just adding a variable called ${comment}.
Here is an example. Keep in mind I use Notepad++ to code so every time I
use "comment" all the text (including the word comment) after it is in a
color of my choice to make it easier to see them. In my case it is blue.
*** Variables ***
${comment} comment Element tabs across the top of each page.
