no_html_comment_embed

Do not treat specially formed HTML comments as Interchange tags.

Valid values

Valid values are 0 and 1.  The default is 0.

Description

Many old HTML editing applications do not support Interchange tags directly, and some (thinking it doesn't belong to the page) will ruin your work.  This is understandable to an extent, because some Interchange tags (such as [item-list]) appear in places that raise errors with HTML syntax checking routines.

In order to mitigate this, Interchange allows you to wrap its tags in HTML comments, which the editing application will leave alone in most cases.

When such HTML comment is found, it is stripped away, Interchange tags are interpolated and the output is displayed as if the HTML comment was never there.

To make use of this weird feature, simply leave no space between the HTML comment and the Interchange tag.  For example, the following would usually show the current time:

The time is now <!--[time]-->.

Setting this pragma true instructs Interchange not to parse and interpolate any HTML comments, so the above example would not display the current time.

We recommend that you uninstall your girly HTML editor and learn to use a proper text editor, such as "vi".
