Markup Regions with HTML Comments

[aagd]

Is there any way of keeping HTML comments in content rendered via Markup Regions? Per default all comments seem to get filtered out (Why this?). There is a forum thread touching this topic but it doesn't answer how to get the comments back.  I found in 'wire/core/WireMarkupRegions.php' there seems to be an option "exact" with is explained as:

Quote

exact (bool): Return region markup exactly as-is? (default=false). Specify true when using return values for replacement.

but I'm not sure if that's what I need. At least changing the default value in wire, doesn't seem to make any difference. I also found that comments starting with a hash symbol will be kept intact, like

<!--#Test -->

but those are actually intended as Markup Region Hints so it might affect performance to use them as regular comments!?

It doesn't look like there is a way to keep HTML comments intact when using the core Markup Regions feature. Even if there was a way to set the "exact" option you mentioned (which there isn't currently because the Markup Regions methods aren't hookable), comments are also removed here.

You could make a feature request at GitHub for an option to keep HTML comments.
