title: Multiline comment in Elixir
body: <p>Most languages allow block comments, and multiline commands. </p>
  
  <p>For example, a multiline comment in HTML looks like the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- 
  Warning, brave programmer:
  Here be dragons.
  --&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Elixir, the closest thing I have found comes from EEx (<a href="https://hexdocs.pm/eex/EEx.html" rel="noreferrer">docs</a>).</p>
  
  <p>EEx smartengine <code>&lt;% #comments %&gt;</code> seem to be discarded from source, even if they are multiline. However, this is just a workaround. </p>
  
  <p>Does Elixir have a multiline comment feature, or a way to instruct the compiler to discard text from the compiled .beam file?</p>
