   I have a strange problem when using the appearance > themes > editor function.

   Normal html tags to ignore programming comments don't seem to be recognized (e.g. // or /* ... */ )when I modify and existing file. However, pre-existing // or /* tags are recognized. The tags are read as text. For example:

   Print this text
   //Ignore this text
   Print this too

   Appears on the blog as:
   Print this text//ignore this textPrint this text

   I thought this was due to my text editor leaving residue, so I made the changes directly through the WP editor...no copying. The problem remained. Any ideas?

   Below is a sample of actual code where the problem occurs (// Changed the name of the copyright holder):

   </div>
   <div id="footer">
   <?php wp_footer(); ?>
   <div> © <?php echo date('Y'); ?>
   // Changed the name of the copyright holder
