Hi,

While using jade for xml->html, I want to insert some comments in the
html output.

However, this:

   (make formatting-instruction data: "<!--My comment-->")

doesn't work.
No error are generated but nothing can be found in the source code.

What an I doing wrong?
 

Remember that DSSSL specifications are SGML documents. Your comment is
being eaten by the SGML parser that parses the DSSSL spec. You can use
several techniques to prevent this from happening:

(make formatting-instruction data: (string-append "<" "!-- My comment-->")

<![CDATA[
(make formatting-instruction data: ("<!-- My comment-->")
]]>
