<-- ... --> Comment Tag

The <-- ... --> tag in Seven Spells of Destruction allows content authors to embed non-displayed commentary directly in paragraph content. These comments are ignored entirely by the game engine and do not affect rendering, logic, navigation, or player experience.

---

Syntax

<!-- This is a comment -->

Comments must begin with <!-- and continue until the closing -->. Everything between these markers is skipped during processing.

---

Purpose

This tag is useful for:

• Editorial notes during content development
• Flagging reminders or TODOs in markup
• Disabling sections temporarily without deleting them
• Describing content logic for other writers or developers

---

Behaviour

• The parser skips all text from <!-- to -->.
• Comment contents are not parsed for tags or logic.
• No output is generated.
• No database records, links, navigation points, or player feedback are created.
• Comments cannot nest — the first --> encountered terminates the comment block.

---

Example

<!-- This paragraph ends here logically -->
<if flag "has_key">
You unlock the door.
<endif>

The comment in the example is ignored by the parser, and the logic block executes normally.

---

Notes

• Avoid using comment tags to hide required control structures (e.g., an opening <if> without its matching <endif>).
• Use with care in production content — excessive comments can obscure structure for technical writers.
