This ViewHelper prevents rendering of any content inside the tag
Note: Contents of the comment will still be **parsed** thus throwing an
Exception if it contains syntax errors. You can put child nodes in
CDATA tags to avoid this.

Examples
========

Commenting out fluid code::

   Before
   <f:comment>
   This is completely hidden.
   <f:debug>This does not get rendered</f:debug>
   </f:comment>
   After

Output::

   Before
   After

Prevent parsing::

   <f:comment><![CDATA[
   <f:some.invalid.syntax />
   ]]></f:comment>

Output::


Note: Using this view helper won't have a notable effect on performance, especially once the template is parsed.
However it can lead to reduced readability. You can use layouts and partials to split a large template into smaller
parts. Using self-descriptive names for the partials can make comments redundant.

Arguments
=========


This ViewHelper has no arguments.
