### 12.5 Comment Lines

Lines starting with zero or more whitespace characters followed by one ‘`#`’ and a whitespace are treated as comments and, as such, are not exported.

Likewise, regions surrounded by ‘`#+BEGIN_COMMENT`’ … ‘`#+END_COMMENT`’ are not exported.

Finally, a ‘`COMMENT`’ keyword at the beginning of an entry, but after any other keyword or priority cookie, comments out the entire subtree. The command below helps changing the comment status of a headline.

`C-c ;`

  Toggle the ‘`COMMENT`’ keyword at the beginning of an entry.
