Block style comments

Wrap a block of code within =begin and =end to comment it out.

# the comment format you're used to
puts "I am evaluated"

=begin
puts "I"
puts "am"
puts "commented"
puts "out"
=end

You can use HTML tags for formatting. Wrap code in <code> tags and multiple lines of code in <pre><code> tags.
