To comment block with nested comments  substitute inner  block  comments from  --  to        lt  --                                                                              IMPORTANT  To uncomment section                   sub inner comments      - gt   --   amp  remove this comment                                                                             lt head gt      lt title gt My document s title lt  title gt   lt     My document s title    gt      lt link rel stylesheet href  mydoc css  type  text css  gt   lt  head gt    lt body gt   lt     My document s important HTML stuff    gt               lt  body gt                                                                           IMPORTANT  To uncomment section              sub inner comments      - gt   --   amp  remove this comment                                                                       -- gt    Thus  the outer most comment ignores all  invalid  inner  block  comments
