A Python-Markdown preprocessor extension to ignore html comments opened by three dashes and any whitespace prior to them. I believe pandoc has similar functionality.
<!-- This is a standard html comment which will remain in the output. --><!--- This is a markdown comment which this extension removes. -->
>>>importmarkdown>>>importmkdcomments>>>comments=mkdcomments.CommentsExtension()
>>>markdowner=markdown.Markdown(extensions=[comments])
>>>markdowner.convert("""\... blah blah blah <!--- inline comment -->...... <!---multiline comment... multiline comment... multiline comment-->...... even more text.""")
u'<p>blah blah blah</p>\n<p>even more text.</p>'
Infrequently Asked Questions
How can I write about markdown comments without them being removed?
In order to render markdown comments, you must *(a)*use them in an html block (which are not processed as markdown) and *(b)*escape the brackets so the browser won't think they're html comments. E.g.:
<pre>
<!--- meta markdown comment -->
</pre>
