A new way to comment out code in the console
With my friend Jan, we discovered a new way to add comments in the Ninox console. Simply add /* before and after the text you want to comment out :
var a := {lastName : "tur"};
/* var a := {firstName: "jacques"}; /*
a;
Normally, you can use quotation marks (") or dashes (---). But in this case, it's not possible, because the code to be commented out also contains quotation marks and braces, which would be interpreted by the dashes (---).
Quotation marks don't work :
The dashes neither :
The new notation using /* works well :
Unfortunately, this notation cannot be used in formulas because when it is used, the code that is commented out disappears upon saving .
This way of commenting out code remains usable in the console and is very convenient when quotation marks (") or dashes (---) cannot be used .
Furthermore, it is possible to comment out code within a line, which is not otherwise possible. In the example below, only the word "first" is removed from the code :

Nice! Thank you.
Simple - but start and end are the same - adds a bit of difficulty in finding multi-line comment delimiters.
You can add this method to your list also:
#{// ***************** OUTPUT SOAP NOTE*********************}#;
#{// }#;
