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

My free Ruby e-book:
http://www.humblelittlerubybook.com/book/
My blogs:
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 :).

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.

the ff is just a kludge. i enclose them text inside single quotes, or %< >, or %<-- -->
irb(main):041:0> print "Hello, "; 'this wont run; puts "NO!"'; print "world\n"
Hello, world
=> nil
irb(main):042:0> print "Hello, "; %<this wont run; puts "NO!">; print "world\n"
Hello, world
=> nil
irb(main):046:0> print "Hello, "; %<--NONONO!-->; print "world.\n"
Hello, world.
=> nil
Hey, about an rcr, use "--" or "++" as inline commenters :))
But sincerely, i have a phobia of inline comments. I once had a bug that took me a day (24hrs) to find because of a very slick inline comment i inserted... arrghh.. but that was then. Now, unit test/tdd/bdd/rspec/ioc rocks. no fear 
kind regards -botp

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
