<p><a name="index-block-comments-164"></a><a name="index-multi_002dline-comments-165"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007b_0023_0040_007b_007d-166"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007b_0025_0040_007b_007d-167"></a>
Entire blocks of code can be commented by enclosing the code between
matching ‘<samp><span class="samp">#{</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">#}</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">%{</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">%}</span></samp>’ markers.
For example,
<pre class="example"> function quick_countdown
# Count down for main rocket engines
disp(3);
#{
disp(2);
disp(1);
#}
disp("Blast Off!"); # Rocket leaves pad
endfunction
</pre>
<p class="noindent">will produce a very quick countdown from '3' to 'Blast Off' as the
lines "<code>disp(2);</code>" and "<code>disp(1);</code>" won't be executed.
