Description

I think I recall some time ago where XML and XML-based languages had the option in the editor to add line comments, but just in case...

    <some> xml </some>

To avoid problems you might want to encode the < and > as

    <!-- &lt;some&gt;xml &lt;/some&gt; -->

and group comments:
 

  <some>
      <thing>Foo</thing>
  </some>

as

  <!-- &lt;some&gt; -->
      <!-- &lt;thing&gt;Foo&lt;/thing&gt; -->
  <!--&lt;/some&gt; -->
