Sun, 14 Jan 2007Strip XML comments with sed
sed -ne '/<!--/ { :c; /-->/! { N; b c; }; /-->/s/<!--.*-->//g }; /^ *$/!p;'
You might consider stripping blanklines and/or filtering through xmllint
--format to make the xml pretty printed.

You need javascript enabled to use this form. Anti-spam efforts ongoing. Also,
if the comment doesn't show up, it's because the form expired. Go back and copy
your comment, reload the form, and resubmit. Apologies if this is a hassle, I'm
just playing with antispam methods right now. If this insists on not working,
please email me about it.
