How to comment lines in rails html.erb files ?

Question

Am a newbie to rails , please let me know the way to comment out a single line and also to comment out a block of lines in *.html.erb files.

Answer 1

ruby on rails notes has a very nice blogpost about commenting in erb-files

the short version is

to comment a single line use

<%-# commented line -%>

to comment a whole block use a if false to surrond your code like this

<% if false %>
code to comment
<% end %>
