Re: [Webware-discuss] PSP Comment

[Andrew S. G. <asg...@uc...>]

PHP Comment

<?php
/*
## This is a multi-line comment.
## Some more comment
## Last comment.
*/
?>

PSP Comment
<%
## This is a multi-line comment.
## Some more comment
## Last comment.
%>

Just like _PHP_ the comments must be within the <% ... %> tags.
Also, the reason you don't have multi-line comments in PSP is because
Python does not support it.

However, if you use an IDE such as PythonWin or IDLE you can use the key
combination ALT-3 to comment blocks of code that you have highlighted.
Further, you can use ALT-4 to uncomment those same blocks.

Further, as I understand it... the use of three dashes in a HTML style 
comment is used to hide Java Script from older browsers.
