Not a bug Template compiler does not respect HTML comments for <xen:foreach>

[tyteen4a03]

I have this code:

<xen:title>{xen:phrase 3ps_usergroup_ranks_usergroup_ranks_listing}</xen:title>
 
<div class="baseHtml">
<fieldset class="xenForm">
<ol class="section ugList">
<!--<xen:foreach loop="$userGroupRanks" value="$userGroupRank">-->
things
<!--</xen:foreach>-->
</ol>
</fieldset>
</div>

However, when I view the page, I get:

Template Errors: 3ps_usergroup_ranks_help_usergroup_ranks_listing
Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in places\library\XenForo\Template\Abstract.php(265) : eval()'d code, line 12:
11: <!--';
12: foreach ($userGroupRanks AS $userGroupRank)
13: {

EDIT: Just tested <xen:if> and <xen:username> as well, the template compiler went ahead and compiled them.

You want <xen:comment>. What you're seeing is entirely expected. The template compiler knows nothing about HTML.

Use <xen:comment> instead of the html comments
