Hi Daniel
I comment a .tpl file with "open curly bracket" "star" Put Your Comment Here or to disable a line of the template file "star" " close curly bracket"
eg:
{* Modified by SWH on 050127 *}
{* //skin1/customer/main/register.tpl *}
{* Original Version embedded in comments after the modified lines labelled SWH *}
If you wish to comment out multiple lines:
{*
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
*}
Make sure that there are no {* or *} (other comments) inside your commented area. Otherwise it will run everything from *} to the last *}.
I also put a marker on the lines I have changed in the .tpl files - I use:
{* SWH *}
That way I can find changes quickly inside the files and from outside the files.
Note - any changes to the files will give issues in upgrades (if that file requires upgrading). See my post for further help:

**********************************************
For .php files I use the following method to comment files:
/* Modified by SWH 041222 */
/* yoursite/include/func.php file being modified */
/* Original Version embedded in comments after the modified lines labelled SWH */
I then comment at the end of lines with
// SWH
for the lines I have modified.
If you wish you can put a
# at the start of the line to comment out the whole line (eg. disable a line of code).
For program line codes make sure that you have a semicolon terminating the line with no spaces after it (or you will get a blank screen & php errors).
I hope this helps you and others. Remember to backup often and keep a copy of the original file to use for restoring (in case Murphy should visit!).
