I've been using HTML comment syntax lately, because it lets me do stuff like:

Actually, this shouldn't work (the way you probably think it should). Zope's DTML parser does not respect HTML comments, so the <dtml-if> is still executed. As a simple example, try this: <!-- <dtml-if "0"> --> Not here! <!-- </dtml-if> --> The real advantage of using <dtml-comment> is that it is part of DTML, so the DTML parser recognizes it. It's just a pain to type out every time you want to comment something. Regards, Ben
