Commented out variables

[ackerman]

I am a bit puzzled!

I deleted the following in Act_Primary template:-
<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERMETA -->
<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:LOADFUNCTION -->
<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SUBMITFUNCTION -->
<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:P3PFULLPOLICYLINK -->

I did this to make it easier to read, as I understood that they were "commented out" and would not appear anyway. However I did lose my Meta Tags, so they are obviously necessary.
I can't understand this as they appear to be comments only (<!-- comments-->).
How comes they have an effect? Does anyone know?

<!-- --> is a normal HTML comment and Actinic will invariably ignore its contents.

<!--@act --> has special meaning to Actinic and will be processed.

Thanks for that information Norman. I will be more careful in future. Do the other @act lines do anything useful? I put those back as well just in case.

[NormanRouxel]

I guess so. It's best to assume that everything is critically important unless you definitely know otherwise.

Thanks again Norman.
