5.8.3 ‘@%’: Ignorable comment

If any line in a web source code contains the command ‘@%’, all remaining material on that line (to and including the newline character) is ignored by the input driver and never processed at all.

A stronger form of this command is ‘@%%’. This deletes the current line as well any empty lines that immediately follow. This command is particularly useful when the N mode is in effect. See @N’: Turn on N mode.

Line-numbering problems can arise when these commands are used. For a discussion, see -T#’: Don’t insert ‘#line’ command after ‘@%.
