Comment for partial line

[Xia __]

Hi

Can someone confirm that Ruby only allows #tail of line commenting and
=begin
this
whole
block
commenting
=end


and not <some comment syntax here>partial line <end comment
syntax>commenting?

and if so, i request this be changed! its really annoying not being able
to do a partial line comment in rhtml

thanks

You can do HTML comments in RHTML you know.

Either, <!-- this commet style -->
or...

<% do_stuff; "comment on it"; do_more; "more comments" %>

but please, if you need to document a template... move that stuff into
the controller...

its more for bug tracking; to be able to remove functionality
temporarily to see what is broken, so more like

<% do_stuff; /* HIDE THE FOLLOWING FROM RUBY do_more; */ %>

that means that perhaps you have way too much logic in your template, and you
should better move that logic into the controller. it isn't just a matter of
taste, it's a matter of good design .

too much logic being a rails form helper?

i dont want to turn this thread into a debate about programming design,
i just want to know if ruby offers a fairly simple syntax function which
is available in many languages.

no.

no.

cool thanks michael.

i think there may be some argument for it to be supported in the case of
erb in rhtml; mostly due to common html markup style which is different
to ruby due to line spacing and inline elements in html
