This is simply not possible w/o hacking the code. (You could simply
strip out the parts of HTML.cc that look for comments).
There are better ways of doing what you want. Personally, I'd suggest
putting the commented text into a META description, which will be
indexed by ht://Dig as well as other search engines like Google, HotBot,
AltaVista, etc.

The purpose of META description tags is very much along these lines--add
text to files that would otherwise not have a useful description. The
HTML 4.0 standard also offers a 'longdesc' attribute for IMG tags that
let you specify descriptions in an external file. This is currently not
supported by ht://Dig, but is a good idea.
