Is there a way to comment multiple lines… which already have some comments in

Is there a way to comment multiple lines… which already have some comments in them?

i.e.

<html>
<!-- Multi-line comment begin
  <head>
    <!-- This script does abcxyz -->
    <script>...</script>
  </head>
  <body>
    Hello world!
  </body>
Multi-line comment end -->
</html>

It seems that even SO’s syntax hilighting won’t accept this…

    I think the key point is this:

    Note that comments are markup.

    http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4

    This is not valid markup:

    <div <span/> />
    

    … so neither is the one you mention.


    Since all my sites are written in PHP I normally comment out code with PHP comments:

    <?/*?>
    <div>...</div>
    <p>...</p>
    <?*/?>
    

    Perhaps you can use a similar trick.
