A while back, someone (my apologies to the forgotten originator)
posted the following simple LaTeX solution that even I could
understand and I've used it without problems (so far), even on
very large blocks of text and code. It works on text containing
\footnote's and it works inside \footnote's. I think I've
\comment'ed out text containing {list}'s, too.

\newcommand{\comment}[1]{}
...
This is visible text. \comment{Everything between the braces is
commented out.} And so on.
