If it can be changed, I'd also like to see only one comment style: {#
[text] #} with the {##}-notation supporting multiple-line comments. {%
comment %} can either get continued support or be deprecated.
I don't agree with the comment on #3888 that {# ... #} is like "//" in
C-like languages as "//" doesn't require a terminator (like "*/") and
therefor always effects the full line. Thus, "{# ... #}" is much more
like "/* ... */" or "<!-- -->". A "start-comment" - text - "end
comment" style notation should treat all included text as a comment,
including newline and carriage-return characters. Under no
circumstances should it affect anything coming *after* it, so that is
certainly a valid bug. At least an error message has to be generated
in this case, at which point we could also just allow multi-line {##}-
style comments.
I'd like that functionality especially as it would allow for the easy
construction of well-formatted templates that produce spaceless mark-
up like:
<div class="blah">{# eliminate the newline
#}<span>xyz</span>{#
#}</div>
at least until the spaceless-filter is changed so it actually produces
spaceless mark-up :-) and it would allow for well formatted comments
like:
{#
# multi-line comment
#
#}
which I find more aesthetically pleasing than the {% comment %} - {%
endcomment %} blocks.
At least a consistent design decision is needed for the 1.0-release.
cheers and happy easter
