: code comment nested

rating: +4

When editing Wikidot pages it is sometimes convenient to remove parts of a page by commenting it (i. e. surrounding it with Wikidot comment tags [!-- and --]) instead of deleting it.

Commenting a part of a page with Wikidot comments only works as long as the part to be commented does not itself contain comments. Wikidot comments do not support nested comments — the first end comment tag (--]) that's inside the part to be commented would prematurely end the surrounding comment.

Here is a way how to comment a part of page with almost any content.

How it Works

Instead of using simple Wikidot comment tags ([!-- and --]) use

as a comment start

[!--
[[code]]

and as a comment end

[[/code]]
--]

Examples

What you type … What you get … 
Code before commented section
[!--
[[code]]
A section of ``code'' containing @@tags@@,
//formatting// and a [!-- nested --] comment
[[/code]]
--]
Code after commented section
Code before commented section
Code after commented section
