How to comment - commenting syntax

LaurelRose

Can someone please tell me how to comment inside the code? I tried the //comment but it does not work and searching for "comment" in a forum is ridiculous. Thank you.

You can add comments to the three different code areas (Javascript, Stylesheet, Passage) but the formats you can use depend on two things:

1. The Area you are trying to add a comment to.
The Story Javascript and Stylesheet areas support the comment formats supported by the programming language (Javascript and CSS) used within each area, so:

a. Javascript supports

// This is a single line Javascript comment.
/* This is a multi-line
Javascript comment */

b. CSS supports

/* This is a single line CSS comment. */
/* This is a multi-line
CSS comment. */

2. The Story Format you are using.
The comment formats that are supported in a Passage based on which story format you are using.

a. Harlowe:

<!-- Singe line comment. Totally removed from generated HTML -->
<!-- Multi-line comment.
Totally removed from generated HTML -->

b. Snowman:

// Single line comment. Totally removed from generated HTML
/* Single line comment. Totally removed from generated HTML */
<!-- Single line comment. Appears in generated HTML -->
<!-- Multi-line comment.
Appears in generated HTML -->

c. SugarCube 1:

/* Singe line comment. Totally removed from generated HTML */
/* Multi-line comment.
Totally removed from generated HTML */
/% Singe line comment. Totally removed from generated HTML %/
/% Multi-line comment.
Totally removed from generated HTML %/
<!-- Single line comment. Appears in generated HTML-->
