Block comments in html.erb templates in rails

Question

How do you comment out html mixed with ruby code?

some text <% ... %> more text <%= ... %>
something else
<% ... %>

In js

Answer 1

<%#=

...commented
multiline
block...

%>

Answer 2

I wouldn't count as a solution, but perhaps enclosing the chunk between an

<% if false %>
   ...
<% end %>

or if you feel a little dirty, create a helper that simply outputs nothing.

I've never needed it, but I'm stumbled there seems to be no out-of-the-box solution for this.

Answer 3

To comment out erb tags use the ruby comment hash symbol before the = sign in the opening tag

<p>
 This is some text I want to keep
 <%= @some_object.some_attribute %>
</p>
<p>
  I want to keep this text but comment out the erb tag
  <%#= @some_object.another_attribute %>
</p>
<!--
<p>
  I want all of this text commented out including the erb tag
  <%#= @some_object.some_attribute %>
</p>
-->
<!--
<p>
 I just want this html commented out but I want to keep the erb tag
 <%= @some_object.some_attribute %>
</p>
-->
