Octopress Comment Tag

A single-line comment tag for Liquid.

Why? Because sometimes a single line is all you need and this:

{% comment %}This is a short comment about whatever{% endcomment %}

Is better like this:

{% _ This is a short comment about whatever %}

This is not the most interesting Liquid tag in the world, but it's the shortest and has the least amount of code, which is kind of cute.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'octopress-comment-tag'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install octopress-comment-tag

Next add it to your gems list in Jekyll's _config.yml

gems:
  - octopress-comment-tag

The underscore is the tag name.

{% _ This is a comment! %}
{% _// Add slashes or other non-word characters to make comments stand out better %}

Also, it's easy to comment out a liquid tag, for example, you can easily disable an include tag like this:

{% _ include some_file.html %}

Yep, that's it.

Oh, and this is the shortest possible comment.

{%_%}

It looks like an bug creature emoticon.

I dare you to improve on this masterpiece of simplicity.
