Comment

Any ZZT-OOP line beginning with an apostrophe (') is treated as a comment and ignored by the interpreter. Comments provide a way for the programmer to document their code, or to quickly disable lines of code without deleting the text.

A line beginning with an apostrophe (') is also acts as zapped label, due to the implementation of #zap and #restore. For some purposes, it maybe be useful to "pre-zap" a label in code.

The apostrophe must be the first character on the line. Any leading whitespace will cause the line to be treated as display text.

Text placed after ZZT-OOP commands may be ignored in a manner similar to comments due to how the interpreter parses code lines.
