How does one comment in an erb template?

I have some trivial markup that looks like the following:

<li class="someclass">
  <=% t'model.attr' %>
</li>

Is there a trivial way to comment that out? Just wrapping <!-- --> around the block will still leave the ruby code available to the template. This means I have to comment out the HTML and Ruby specific code separately.

What's the best way to comment out all three lines with the least amount of markup?

Solution

  • =begin and =end are the Ruby version of block comments.

    Using them in an erb template:

    <%
=begin
%>
<li class="someclass">
  <=% t'model.attr' %>
</li>
<%
=end
%>
