HTML comments do not work in Interchange

Posted September 23, 2004

You know now how to trouble shoot having incorrect line breaks in the theme file, which is part of the base which around Interchange works. But you still need to learn about the nuances of troubleshooting problems in Interchange.

Interchange’s parsing engine will parse through every bit of code, including HTML, ignoring it if it doesn’t understand.

However, this means that if you comment out a piece of Interchange ITL code with HTML comments, it will still parse it. So, make sure that if you are testing, and you want to not permanently remove something, just delete it really quick, publish it and check the changes. Then do a redo if it doesn’t work. This seems strange at the moment, but as of now I do not claim to be an Interchange expert and I may find out how to truly comment out Interchange code.

I think that Interchange comments are used with a # sign, but I will have to write back about that.
