    <p>In a web2py view, how do I comment out server-side code? In ASP.NET, I can surround any HTML or code tags with &lt;%-- and --%> and that block will not be compiled or sent to the client. Velocity does the same thing with #* and *#. Is there an equivalent in web2py?</p> <p><strong>ASP.NET</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;%=foo.bar%&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;%-- don't print twice! &lt;p&gt;&lt;%=foo.bar%&gt;&lt;/p&gt; --%&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>web2py</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt;{{=foo.bar}}&lt;/p&gt; ??? don't print twice! &lt;p&gt;{{=foo.bar}}&lt;/p&gt; ??? &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><em>EDIT: Fixed web2py code tags.</em></p> <hr/> <h2>Problem with block comments</h2> <p>An exception is thrown if {{'''...'''}} and {{"""..."""}} are used with code blocks inside. A non-ideal workaround that leaves the code mostly unchanged is removing the double-braces from the commented-out code blocks.</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>{{'''{{somefunction(42)}}'''}} </code></pre> <p><strong>Error</strong></p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "gluon/restricted.py", line 176, in restricted File "gluon/restricted.py", line 163, in compile2 File "C:\development\web2py\applications\SpaceCorps/views\default/index.html", line 74 '''{{somefunction(42)\nresponse.write("'''}}\r\n\t\t\r\n\t&lt;/div&gt;\r\n&lt;/div&gt;\n\t&lt;/body&gt;\n&lt;/html&gt;\n",escape=False) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax </code></pre> <p><strong>Generated View code</strong></p> <pre><code>'''{{somefunction(42)\nresponse.write("'''}}\r\n\t\t\r\n\t&lt;/div&gt;\r\n&lt;/div&gt;\n\t&lt;/body&gt;\n&lt;/html&gt;\n",escape=False) </code></pre> <h2>Problem with single-line comment</h2> <p>{{#}} successfully comments, but also doesn't quite work as expected. This may be more difficult to fix, however, and should be easy to work around. The following HTML will render two end brackets to the final HTML, while I think it should render nothing.</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>{{#{{somefunction(42)}}}} </code></pre>

    1. COThis {{'''{{somefunction(42)}}'''}} is not allowed because web2py will interpret it as {{ '''{{somefunction(42) }}. The {{...}} tags get precedence over everything inside.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
