Is YAML support block comments?

YAML doesn’t support block comments.

If you want to comment multiple lines, then you should use multiple # symbols.

For example, to comment three lines, we require 3 # symbols.

#   Failure never overtake me

#   if my determination to succeed is

#   strong enough.

How can I comment multiple yaml lines efficiently?

You can use Eclipse yedit plugin to comment multiple lines. My previous post, explains the installation procedure of yedit plugin.

Open the yaml file in eclipse.
