Comment Directive

html

It would be nice, and obviously trivial to provide a do-nothing comment directive. I could see providing one in both the tal and metal namespaces:

<span tal:content="here/splat"
      tal:comment="Jim was here"> ...

Comments

peterbe (Jun 12, 2001 6:30 am; Comment #1) -- I'm in on that!

A quick check (did not visit www.w3c.org) proved that Golive have no problem with:

<div tal:comment="

On many
Lines
">Commented DIV</div>

It would be be very nice to be able to write comments on many lines. Can this be done?

n.larosa (Jun 13, 2001 4:27 am; Comment #2) -- Yeah! Go for it! I proposed this on the mailing list a while ago, but

GvR was not impressed. Let's help him see the light! ;^)

fdrake (Jul 13, 2001 3:06 pm; Comment #3) -- Why would this need to be a TAL attribute? What about:

<div my:comment="
   This is my long comment.
   I could go on for pages and pages...
  ">Commented DIV</div>

Is it a matter of filtering out the attribute in the rendering? I can understand that you might not want the comments public.

mindlace (Jul 18, 2001 2:05 pm; Comment #5) -- -1 what's the difference between this and existing comment syntax or

the ability to just use a bogus tag?

I think this is a fantastic idea. One could use tal:comment="this is my comment". It would be the perfect way to explain what you are trying to accomplish just by glancing at the page template. Best of all, if Zope recognized this tag, the server could assure that these comments are always filtered out.
