Comments in a wiki page

Hi,

I've got a seemingly simple question, and apologize in advance if i've overlooked the answer.

I've searched around the community forums as well as google and cannot seem to find a way to place a comment (code-style comment, not a mingle comment) into a wiki page? It would be nice to know this syntax in order to relay information to users editing the page(s) without the comment(s) displaying to the screen when not in edit mode.

Thanks for any help.

Alex

    Hey Alex


    I recently found out that you can do this using the less than and greater than signs as brackets around the comment text.


    E.g. <this is a comment>


    I hope that helps.

    Suzie,


    Thanks! Perfect. Again, sorry for such a simple question, but that may be good to add to the wiki-edit toolbar!


    Thanks Again,


    Alex

    is there an easy way to comment out a section of content that has MQL in it?  I'm trying to get a chart to work and I ran out of time before a meeting, so I tried to comment out the entire panel using this technique and it didn't work.


    Here's an example where it doesn't work:


    < Release: Planned {{value query: SELECT SUM('Estimate - Planning') WHERE Type = Story AND 'Planning - Release' = (Current Release)}} points, >

    BTW, this is 3.0.  Upgrading to 3.1 next week.

    Hi Stone


    This is a workaround and not really supported behaviour.


    I expect the problem is because your query syntax goes over multiple lines. The only suggestion I have is if you put spaces between the curly braces { then the query will not render but you probably will see the syntax on the page.


    Maybe that will help?

    Not really.  I was trying to get some MQL working and couldn't get the syntax right before a meeting. I wanted to quickly comment it out, so I wouldn't loose it but no one else would see it.  Given how code oriented mingle wikis and cards can be, it would be great to add support for some comment syntax.  I'm the kind of person who benefits from leaving notes to myself for later anyway...


    <!-- comment --> would be fantastic.
