How to comment multiple lines on configurations file

[Amber Mehra]

Hey Guys,

I need to comment multiple lines on some configuration files, Please let me know how to accomplish this task using puppet manifest?

[Henrik Lindberg]

Comments in puppet are either

# This is a line comment

or

/* this is a
multiline
comment
*/

The later is normally not used and the style guide prescribes that only
# comments should be used. There is however nothing stopping you from
commenting out larger sequences of code with /* */. Note that you cannot
comment out other /* */ comments, but commenting out # comments works
fine. (This is one reason for never using /* */ for normal comments, so
when in a pinch you can comment out a larger block of code).

If you find that you need to do that and keep the commented out block
for a longer period of time, then that is a sign of "not doing it
right", and you should probably be using branches in Git and simply
remove the code and keep the alternative version in a branch.

Hope that helps.
