Is there any way to comment out text in textile?

Question

LaTeX has %, html has <!--

Does textile have anyway of commenting out text? I couldn't find one, and it seems like it would be a nice feature to have.

Answer 1

Not really. It seems you can do a single line HTML escape sequence containing an HTML comment which is passed through. But you probably want something more like the C Preprocessor comments that are simply stripped out completely?

==<!-- html comment -->==

Or you could do this, which outputs a multiline html comment, but I doubt it's what you want either:

notextile.  <!-- test 
test
test
-->
