title: Is there a way to use a block comment on a section that's already commented?
body: <p>I know you can comment out a whole section of code like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/*
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if you already have a /* ... */ section in the code that you are trying to comment, then the */ end of a comment block will close the "greater" comment block I am trying to create.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* wanting to comment this big section out
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  /* this section was already commented out before
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  */ this section was already commented out before
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  line of code
  */ this last part doesn't get commented out, because the comment stops at previous */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously this isn't a huge big deal, it is not stopping me from getting an app to work properly, but I'm just wondering if there might be some way of commenting out a larger section of code, even if there are already comment blocks in that code.</p>
