syntax for comments in github's README.md?
A GitHub repo is described in a text file README.md
, in Daring Fireball's Markdown format. Does that language support comments, either as a feature or a quick hack? I'd like to have some text that is visible when editing the file, but invisible in the HTML result. (Just like HTML's <!-- ... -->
, or bash's # ...
.)
Their extensive example doesn't seem to mention this. Their mailing list archive isn't directly searchable, but even indirectly I find only vaguely related posts.
Huh. As a quick experiment I just tried <!-- ... -->
, and it worked. Here's the example.
