ERB Processing Question

rubyonrails-talk
1

When I'm coding my view, I like to comment out blocks of code while testing and fiddling.

I've found that .rhtml / ERB doesn't use <!-- comment --> as a block comment, it does translate it when viewed as html, however.

Is there a way to comment out blocks of code in ERB so that it doesn't get processed?

Thanks,

Matt

But this won't work if there is embedded Ruby..

It won't know where to end.

It would need an #%> to find the end of the block
