Macro / Ability Comment Text?

Is it possible to have comment text in Abilities and Macros that doesn't show in the chat window when the Macro is rolled? I've searched the Wiki and the forum but I can't seem to find an answer.

Basically when setting up Abilities for GURPS 4e characters, you need a way to record the development over time of the Ability and it would be ideal if you could do it in the Macro it self.

Eg:
/emas Pentu rolls Acrobatics
/roll @{DEXTERITY}+1-3D6

Skill Level: DX+1 (17)
Advancement Difficulty: DX Hard
Spent Character Points: 8

I'd like the text in bold to be commented out so that you only see it when you open the Macro / Ability editing window.

Ok, that's weird. Now HTML 5 comment tags seem to be working again. I guess it was just a saving issue. So comments in a Macro / Ability would look like this:

Eg:
/emas Pentu rolls Acrobatics
/roll @{DEXTERITY}+1-3D6

<!--

Advancement Difficulty: DX Hard
Spent Character Points: 8
-->

Nice find. :)

Well, the comments I have added to some of my Macros have disappeared again. +Riley D. Could you comment or look into why HTML comments seem to intermittently disappear once they are saved? This would be a really useful feature if it was reliable.

I can confirm that my comments are disappearing as well. This would be very helpful for explaining how people can modify a macro for their own use, as well as commenting out character sheet features that aren't available yet for a particular character (such as magical weapon proficiency & damage bonuses, which a character will likely have eventually, but doesn't have now).

Thank Riley, if the "!" is used in this way, is there any danger of this text being inadvertently picked up by an API script that does use the "!" command? For example if I go this route and then in the future install someone elses script that leverages the "!" command, will I blow up my campaign and or the script?

Cool, thanks. I'll update the GURPS portion of the wiki with this.

How do you close comments like that? If the comments don't close, there's going to be limited utility to commenting out certain modifiers that aren't applicable.
