Comment Directives

Any text wrapped in <## ##> is treated as a comment and is removed from the template before any further processing occurs.

The following example shows the format of a comment directive.

<## text ##>

Unlike standard HTML comments, Orb template comments are not sent to the client and will not be visible in the browser HTML source.

Other directives can be commented out by being wrapped in comment tags and are not expanded when the template is processed.

All of the following examples show valid comments and produce no output.

• Simple comment

  <## a single line comment ##>

• Comments can be multiple lines

  <## a
  comment that
  spans multiple
  lines
  ##>

• Directive commented out

  <## <@@ name @@> ##>

• A space is not required between the tags
