How to put comments in Django templates

Answer 1

In contrast to traditional html comments like this:

---

Django template comments are not rendered in the final html. So you can feel free to stuff implementation details in there like so:

Multi-line:

{% comment %}
    The other half of the flexbox is defined 
    in a different file `sidebar.html`
    as 
.
{% endcomment %}

Single line:

{# jquery latest #}

{#
    beware, this won't be commented out... 
    actually renders as regular body text on the page
#}

I find this especially helpful for views that have not been created yet.
