Re: [SMARTY-DEV] nested comments

We could introduce a new commenting syntax for commenting large blocks of code, including normal comments. I think the syntax would most intuitively be {** **}. Example: {** ... some stuff ... {* normal comment *} ... some other stuff ... {* normal comment *} ... some more stuff ... **} This would imply that you can't nest {** **} tags, but you could have several sets of them in one template. This is untested, but should be possible. It might impact things like line numbering for error messages. Comments have always been a stickler in the tokenizer.
