[Mediawiki-l] non-displaying (i.e., comment) text?

[Rich Morin]

I want to be able to insert non-displaying (i.e., comment) text
in a page.  For example, a mechanically-generated (eg, index or
transcluded template) page might have:

  This is a mechanically-generated page.  Do NOT edit it.
  For more information, see RichMorinBot.

Alternatively, a "report" page might contain:

  The following transclusion brings in the Yada Yada report.


One way of doing this is:

  <b _='this is a comment'></b>

or perhaps

  <b _='   The following transclusion brings in the Yada Yada report.
  '></b>

but this seems a bit awkward.  Are there any better ways?
