- Maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking, but why not something
- really simple like:
-
- \def\ignore#1{}
- ...
- \ignore{
-
- < text to be ignored >
-
- }
-
- See Victor Eijkout's book "TeX by Topic" for the disadvantages of this
- approach plus a a "better way of doing it". It's on p. 108.
