What's a safe way to insert comments into TL's working files (.DAT, .LAYOUT, .IMAGESET, etc.)?

I kind of remember someone saying you can do this by starting your comment line with a double of any character (like "//" in the old doom .cfg files LOL) - can anyone confirm or refute this?

Thanks!

In the item editor there is a notes section. I tested it out and looked at the code. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it might work in other areas.

I've not tried this, but you might be able to use the standard for comments in HTML and XML files.

Code: [Select]

<!-- Anything between the two tags is commented out. -->
<data>
        <data-field1></data-field1>
        <data-field2></data-field2>
        <data-field3></data-field3>
 </data>
<!--
<data>
        <data-field1></data-field1>
        <data-field2></data-field2>
        <data-field3></data-field3>
 </data>
-->

Thanks RnF and Wolven! Will try both.

Will probably use both too, since the in-GUTS method seems covenient and the XML method seems good when using a text editor.
