In general, #+begin_foo ... #+end_foo will include the contents of the block for foo export but get rid of it for non-foo export. So if you don't intend to export to ascii, you can use an ascii block to include comments in your file (and similarly for other formats). Of course, you can also use #+begin_comment...#+end_comment, but afaict, there is an inconsistency here: the latter can not be indented, whereas the other blocks can. I haven't tried this with org-indent-mode though[fn:1]. > P.P.S.
