Commented code block in PowerShell

Q. How can I create an entire commented block of code in PowerShell?

A. Normally a line of PowerShell can be commented out by prefixing # to the line however if you want to comment multiple lines then the easiest way is to enclose the content in <#  #>. For example

write-output "Start of something"<# all of thiscontent will becommented out #>write-output "Now stuff again"
