## Section Intro: Block Commands

Synopsis:

The block commands operate on a specific area of the page, and tend to manipulate the interpreter pointer position as a result.

Commands:

comment | verbatim |  |

More Information:

These commands differ from the commands in the section of this manual because their scope is limited only to the block of statements that they surround.

### Function Documentation

`<comment> body </comment>` | Complex

Simply discard the BODY. No processing is done, and no output is produced.

A shorthand for commenting source on a single line exists; when the sequence of 3 semicolon character is seen (`;``;;`), then the text from this sequence to the end of the line inclusive is discarded.

`<verbatim [QUOTE]> body </verbatim>` | Complex

Insert BODY verbatim, avoiding doing any processing on the contents. If the positional argument QUOTE is given, occurrences of characters with special meaning to HTML are replaced with the HTML code to produce that character in the output page.

Contrast this with `comment`.
