Question

If I have some erroneous code, commented in a *scala.html template file in Play, it gives errors on it during compilation. How to make Play understand that this is just a comment?

Answer 1

Server side comments in Play should be written as (I have used them many times without any compilation problems):

@* your comment here *@

But according to the following post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6398059/what-is-the-server-side-comment-tag-in-scala-templates-in-play-framework) This can give compile errors in scala templates (for Play! 1.x!)

Perhaps, but i doubt it, the following could work for you:

@{ /* Comment */ }
