Q. Is there an easy way to comment multiple line of ruby in an html.erb file when you have:
... <% .. %> blah <% .. %> blah <% .. %> blah ...
I tried to put <!– –> around it but its still interpreted.
A. There are a few ways. First, you could add a -# at the beginning of the erb tags like this:
<%-# whatever erb code -%>
Secondly, you could do an if false statement as explain here http://blog.localkinegrinds.com/2008/05/02/erb-block-comments-in-rhtml-templates-using-ruby-on-rails like this:
<% if false %><!-- start erb comment --> ... <% .. %> blah <% .. %> blah <% .. %> blah ... <!-- end erb comment --><% end %>
This will color code that portion as a comment in text editors and will prevent it from getting send to the browsers at all.
