Description:

blade block comment does not work

Steps To Reproduce:

Code like test.blade.php with:

    {{-- comment 1
        <?php
            echo 'comment 1'
        ?>
    --}}
    {{-- comment 2
        <?php
            echo 'comment 2'
        ?>
    --}}
    {{-- comment 3
        <?php
            echo 'comment 3'
        ?>
    --}}
    {{-- comment 4
        <?php
            echo 'comment 4'
        ?>
    --}}

results into HTML code like comment completely ignored and everything inside executed:

    {{-- comment 1
        comment 1    --}}
    {{-- comment 2
        comment 2    --}}
    {{-- comment 3
        comment 3    --}}
    {{-- comment 4
        comment 4    --}}

Please try using the @php @endphptags instead. These should be ignored by Blade.

This works as expected:

                {{--
                @php

                    echo "Hello world!";

                @endphp
                --}}

echo "Hello world!"; is not printed.

I have another possible solution for this issue, in case #20065 is merged :)

@php
@endphp
is a working workaround :-)

@php @endphp is not ok with i18n tools like poedit or certain built-in tools (which you cant edit) that scan only php tags for i18n strings. It was bad enough I had to change all my {{}} with __() strings to be inside <?php ?>. I guess no other options here?
