Adding comments to design templates (Liquid templates)

Overview

This article uses the current Opensense template syntax, Liquid (as of 2022). If you’re used to the older format, see HTML and field types (legacy templates).

Use cases

Around unfinished code
To explain how a signature operator works, so it’s easy to find

Comments aren’t displayed when emails are sent.

Example

{% comment %}
The operator below lets you display the address that matches the sender's location.
You can easily add new locations by creating a new {% when "" %} statement,
and saving the signature template.
{% endcomment %}

{% case location %}

{% when "New Jersey" %}
555 Highpoint Lane<br />
Englewood, NJ 07631

{% when "Atlanta" %}
1234 Pleasant Street<br />
Atlanta, GA 30301

{% else %}
1234 HQ Lane<br />
Louisville, KY 40210
{% endcase %}

The HTML Template editor, where a comment block explains the case statement on location below it — **HTML code** · The comment above the case statement

A rendered signature with the Atlanta address; the template comment doesn't appear — **Rendered email signature** · The comment doesn't appear
