f:comment
=========

Everything inside an `f:comment` ViewHelper will be removed. ViewHelpers within an `f:comment` block will not be executed. 
This ViewHelper is most useful when debugging a website: for example, you can temporarily wrap a `f:for` loop with an 
`f:comment` ViewHelper to stop it from being executed.

Properties
----------

This ViewHelper has no properties.

Example
-------

::

 <f:comment>
   <p>This text will not be displayed</p>
   <p>My name is: {address.firstName}</p>
 </f:comment>
 <p>{address.firstName} lives in city xyz</p>
 <![CDATA[<p>This text was made by {address.firstName} and will be displayed but not processed.</p>]]>

**Output**

::

 <p>Stefan lives in city xyz</p>
 <p>This text was made by {address.firstName} and will be displayed but not processed.</p>

.. tip::

   The last row in this example is a special case. By using CDATA notation, you can stop the processing of variable 
   placeholders from being executed. The text will be output, but the placeholder {address.firstName} won't be 
   replaced. This is most common when working with JavaScript in your template, where you may want to output a 
   string containing curly quotes.
