Multiple Line HTML Commenting Does Not Work

  • Multiple Line HTML Commenting Does Not Work…

    For example
    <!–
    blah blah
    blah blah
    –>
    does not work

    only
    <!– blah blah –>
    works

    I find this annoying and would appreciate knowing if this or any other comment tag works to enclose several lines – or can be made to work by some coding or plug-in measure, preferably simple!

    When I say does not work,
    I mean that wordpress just displays everything within the comment tags,
    and also the comment tags themselves, for multiple lines.

    Please don’t just suggest “hey don’t use long commenting” or such ??
    I would appreciate knowing if and how it is possible.

    To clarify, I am in HTML editor OK
    (or presumably the single line comment would not work!)

    The only thing I could find that might seem a useful quick workaround was
    <div style=”display: none;”> </div>
    Unfortunately, this too is very quirky in what is and is not shown…
    it does not seem to obey the </div> closing tag.
