Allowing for comments in code...

I was wondering if it would be possible to either:
* Allow for an omit-comment option in HTML5 serializer
* Allow for {(: Nothing but a comment :)} in xquery code.
I often have long pieces of HTML to output and clients don't want me to output them with the result. However, I can't use {(::)}. I have been using useless code around my comments just to get around this issue:
{
let $t := '' return $t (: The comment I can't leave without the bogus code:)
}
Thanks!

Have you tried just an empty sequence?
{() (: comment... :)}

The following query is a valid XQuery 3.1 expression:
<x>{ (: bla :) }</x>Do you use an older version of XQuery or BaseX? Are you looking for something else_

Maybe my issue is that I am trying to add the comment between elements?
<html>
<head>
<title>{*$dash-cms-name*}</title>{(:blah:)}
<meta *http-equiv*=*"expires"* *content*=*"Mon, 22 Jul 2020
11:12:01 GMT"*/>returns
[XPST0003] Expecting valid expression after curly brace.

Your query works for me (if I define a value for $dash-cms-name, and if I close the head and html elements). Hm.
• Are you sure you aren’t working with an older version of BaseX?
• What does string(
db:system()//version) return?Quoted text · France Baril · 86 lines

Right, I have the issue on an older version. Just tested in a different project that has a newer version and it works.
Thanks!
