Block comments in Pug (Jade)?

Question

How do you block comment out code in the Pug templating engine?

I know how to comment out a line:

//-doesn't show

but I don't want to have to write in full html comments like so:

<!--
    no show
-->

//-
    Just indent the comment
    like normal elements

Just indent your comment like you do other elements.

Just be careful that you have your indention correct or you may comment out more than you intended.

But how to comment element attribute? – Vadim Sep 09 '16 at 09:56

I'm not entirely sure what you are wanting to accomplish by commenting attributes. I assume you mean adding comments inside of an HTML tag? If that is the case then this is not supported in HTML or Jade that I'm aware of. – Dan Armstrong Sep 13 '16 at 18:58
And the space between the slashes and hyphens also matter – Valentino Pereira Mar 08 '19 at 09:47
