(Wishlist) Support for outputting comments

[daniel-genshi@…]

It would be nice to have the ability to output comments in XML templates, much like you can in XSL with <xsl:comment>.

This would allow actual template data to be put in comments at the author's discretion.

Using an element like <py:comment> seems like the right way to approach this.

use may use "<--! this is a comment -->" construction. http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/0.5.x/xml-templates.html#id11

[daniel-genshi@…]

I know about that, and it's not what I'm describing. Here's a code example:

<py:comment>${1 + 1}</py:comment>

should yield:

<!--2-->

Notice that what is inside the comment is actually processed.

patch for py:comment feature

[daniel-genshi@…]

I added a patch that creates a comment directive and should close this ticket. I included a set of tests in the patch as well. Please review at your convenience.

patch refresh

[daniel-genshi@…]

I noticed the milestone was changed to 0.7. Are you just paring back features to stabilize the release? Is the change unwelcome? If there is something wrong with the patch, please let me know.

I just need to get a new stable release (0.6) out real soon, so a lot of tickets have been moved to the next major milestone.

The patch looks good.
