Ryan Kanno: The diary of an Enginerd in Hawaii

After searching the great Googs and reading here, here, and here about commenting out regions in your RHTML templates, I couldn’t find a (good) solution aside from the (<... if false ...>) paradigm. Using Rails 1.2.3 (I know, I know… we’re old school), to get block comments in Rails, the following worked for me, but unfortunately, still wasn’t recognized by NetBeans 6.0 (Boo!).

<table>
  ...
  <tbody>
    <tr id="<%= "photographer_#{photographer.id}"%>">
      <td><% 
=begin %>
<%= h photographer.first_name unless photographer.blank? %><% 
=end %>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  ...
</table>

Happy Coding!
