Name

Line Comment — Single-line comments

Description

A line comment begins anywhere on a line with // and continues until the end of the line.

Line comments are ignored by the compiler and can be used for documentation, explanations, or disabling code temporarily.

⚠️ Special rule: if a line comment contains }}, it terminates the GOWEB code block and switches back to the display text state.

Examples

// Example 1: Standard line comments
Test a line comment
res = {{
    a := 5; // Assign 5 to a
    // A normal line comment
    b := 6; // Assign 6 to b
    // End of comment
    // Multiple lines
    a; b
}}.

// Result:
Test a line comment
res = 56

// Example 2: Line comment with closing braces (}})
Test a line comment
res = {{
    a := 5; // Assign 5 to a
    // A normal line comment
    b := 6; // Assign 6 to b
    // End of comment
    // Multiple lines }}
    a; b
}}.

// Result:
Test a line comment
res =
    a; b
}}
