Comment #1 on issue 997 by pekka.klarck: Allow comments in the ***
Variables *** section
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=997
There are two options that already work:
1) Add the comment on the table header row:
***Variables*** Element tabs across the top of each page.
${eCMainTab_Home}= xpath=/html/body/div[2]/div/div/a
${eCMainTab_Matters}= xpath=/html/body/div[2]/div/div[2]/a
2) Use the normal # comment character:
***Variables***
# Element tabs across the top of each page.
${eCMainTab_Home}= xpath=/html/body/div[2]/div/div/a
${eCMainTab_Matters}= xpath=/html/body/div[2]/div/div[2]/a
The latter works also with RIDE (hopefully also the former works at some
point) and allows using comments also inside the table.
Does either of these work for you?
