Wiki text block rule for HTML comments. For example:

```
<!-- This is a comment -->
\define macroX()
<!-- This is a comment -->
xxxx
\end
<!-- This is a comment -->

```

Note that the syntax for comments is simplified to an opening "<!--" sequence and a closing "-->" sequence -- HTML itself implements a more complex format (see http://ostermiller.org/findhtmlcomment.html)
