 * Multiple Line HTML Commenting Does Not Work…
 * For example
    <!– blah blah blah blah –> does not work
 * only
    <!– blah blah –> works
 * I find this annoying and would appreciate knowing if this or any other comment
   tag works to enclose several lines – or can be made to work by some coding or
   plug-in measure, preferably simple!

 * When I say does not work,
    I mean that wordpress just displays everything within
   the comment tags, and also the comment tags themselves, for multiple lines.
 * Please don’t just suggest “hey don’t use long commenting” or such 😉
    I would
   appreciate knowing if and how it is possible.

 * To clarify, I am in HTML editor OK
    (or presumably the single line comment would
   not work!)
 * The only thing I could find that might seem a useful quick workaround was
    <div
   style=”display: none;”> </div> Unfortunately, this too is very quirky in what
   is and is not shown… it does not seem to obey the </div> closing tag.
