octave: Block Comments
2.7.2 Block Comments
--------------------
Entire blocks of code can be commented by enclosing the code between
matching ‘#{’ and ‘#}’ or ‘%{’ and ‘%}’ markers. For example,
function quick_countdown
# Count down for main rocket engines
disp (3);
#{
disp (2);
disp (1);
#}
disp ("Blast Off!"); # Rocket leaves pad
endfunction
will produce a very quick countdown from ’3’ to "Blast Off" as the lines
"‘disp (2);’" and "‘disp (1);’" won’t be executed.
The block comment markers must appear alone as the only characters on
a line (excepting whitespace) in order to be parsed correctly.
