Howto use comments in JSF pages

Question

Hi all,
I play a little bit with JSF, at the moment. I wonder that I cannot find any information about how to comment out a part of a JSF page, that it is not rendered.
If I use the html comment tags <!-- --> then this part is already rendered if I access the page.
If I want to comment out an invalid part, the execution will fails :(.
So is there a comment tag in JSF, which is not be rendered if a page is access?
Thank in advance
Marco

I'm sure you must have found a way by now, but to anyone who also has this problem (like myself :D) you can do the following.. I'm using Facelets as XHTML pages, and I didn't find a way of allow the JSP style comments:
<%--    --%>But if you add the below to your web.xml, you can allow Facelets to skip HTML comments:
<context-param>
    <param-name>facelets.SKIP_COMMENTS</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
  </context-param>So with the above in your web.xml, the below:
First line: #{person.id}
<!-- Second Line: #{person.id} -->would generate, assuming the person bean's id property is 5:
First line: 5
