LaTeX tip to comment out large portion of text
Not very obvious but:
\iffalse
blablabla
blublublublu
and some more bla here
\fi
so LaTeX doesn’t compile anything within this if clause.

Multiple-line comment for shell scripts
How to comment a block of text without inserting the ‘#’ character to all lines?
We just use a ‘<<COMMENT_STRING’ (COMMENT_STRING can be obviously whatever we want) before the line of text we want to comment out and ‘COMMENT_STRING’ after the last line.
An example:
<<HEADER_COMMENT
This is a test comment - lol!
HEADER_COMMENT
ps. In source 1 the “:” is placed in front of the “<<COMMENT_STRING”, which is not mentioned in source 2 and from what I tested with bash scripts it seems not necessary.
