dan'l,
in cheetah syntax, the # indicates a directive, and ## indicates a
comment. so
#set $x = 1
will set the value of variable $x to 1. and this would comment that line:
##set $x = 1
the line:
#set $show_wind = int($getVar('Extras.forecast_table_settings.show_wind',
1))
is a bit of cheetah/python magic. it says that the variable $show_wind
should be set to whatever $Extras.forecast_table_settings.show_wind is set
to, but if that variable does not exist, use the value 1. the variable
$Extras.forecast_table_settings.show_wind is set like this in skin.conf:
[Extras]
[[forecast_table_settings]]
show_wind = 1
or like this in weewx.conf:
[StdReport]
[[forecast]]
[[[Extras]]]
[[[[forecast_table_settings]]]]
show_wind = 1
hope that helps!
