How do I comment out text in an aritcle?
How do I comment out something that I don’t want to show in an article? I tried the <code> <!— thing I want to hide —> </code> thing but it didn’t work. I did find out how to make an arrow in textile though.
Right now I’m hiding it by sticking what I don’t want to show in a if section name=“hidden” tag which works since I don’t have a section called hidden. Just wondering if there is an official way to do this?

Hi RenJonsin
Try the anc_hide plug-in (I dont know if it works inside the article body).
Or you can try:
<code>< notextile ><!— thing I want to hide —>< /notextile ></code> (without the spaces)
or
<code>==<!— thing I want to hide —>==</code>

Re: How do I comment out text in an aritcle?
Hi, I tried both <code>==</code> and the notextile tag. Neither works for me. I also tried inserting a space at the beginning of the line before the HTML comment tag, but the closing comment tag still gets parsed by Textile.
After some experimentation, I found something that works but unfortunately I could not get it to render correctly here in the forum. Not even PasteBin worked for me because it was deleting spaces. So here’s a verbal description of what I did:
Do the opening comment tag and text normally on its own line. Then follow that with a hard return and a space, then an opening angle bracket, then the closing comment tag, like this: <code> <—></code>
Kinda nasty but at least it hides the comment text in the browser.

Edit: for some inexplicable reason, this doesn’t work on some pages. RenJonSin’s approach is more reliable.
