Comments in freemarker template and smooks

freemarker, java, smooks

Solution

Comment in freemarker are delimited by `<#--` and `-->`. Everything between these delimiters will not be interpreted by freemarker and won't appear in the output.

<Grantor>
    <#-- <UniqueID>${(currentGrantorIndex)!?string}</UniqueID> -->
    <Entity>${(grantor.entityTypeName)!?string}</Entity>
</Grantor>

See freemarker reference here.

Problem

I am working on a freemarker template and here is a sample. ``` <Grantor> <UniqueID>${(currentGrantorIndex)!?string}</UniqueID> // want to comment this line <Entity>${(grantor.entityTypeName)!?string}</Entity> </Grantor> ``` I want to know how to write comments or comment out few lines in freemarker templates. Any idea?
