NAME

Template::Liquid::Tag::Comment - General Purpose Content Eater

Synopsis

I love you{% comment %} and your sister {% endcomment %}.

Description

comment is the simplest tag. Child nodes are not rendered so it effectively swallows content.

{% for article in articles %}
    <div class='post' id='{{ article.id }}'>
        <p class='title'>{{ article.title | capitalize }}</p>
        {% comment %}
            Unless we're viewing a single article, we will truncate
            article.body at 50 words and insert a 'Read more' link.
        {% endcomment %}
        ...
    </div>
{% endfor %}

Code inside a comment tag is not executed during rendering. So, this...

{% assign str = 'Initial value' %}
{% comment %}
    {% assign str = 'Different value' %}
{% endcomment %}
{{ str }}

...would print Initial value.
