Description kawazu428 2007-10-22 12:50:51 UTC 
Using the Java editor, one quickly gets used to the "Source"->"Toggle Comment" feature in order to (un)comment blocks of
Java source code. In XML, same a feature would come in handy in order to (un)comment code blocks, as well, be that by
wrapping each line selected in <!-- --> tags or by completely (un)commenting the block as a whole.

Would something like that be possible?
TIA and best,
Kristian

marking as P1 since this functionality already exists in other tag based languages as HTML and it should be easy to 
migrate it into XML as well

Works for me at least in 7.2.1/7.3dev
