Detail

A -- within an HTML coment confuses TWiki.

For example, say I have this in my page:

<!--
    Vicki Brown -- 15 Jan 2010
-->

At the company where I work, we use TWiki 4.2.4. The above code will "blow up" the rendering, as the comment will end at -- .

Here at twiki.org, tested in the Sandbox, I don't get a broken page... but I don't get a comment either!

You experience an unfortunate spec of SGML/HTML that most people misunderstand. This is HTML rendered in browser specific, not TWiki TML specific. Explained at http://htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/misc/comment.html
