since the lighttpd documentation doesnt show something like this in the syntax documentation, i dont think this is possible.

however, your editor may have a function to put a # in front of every line you select :)

You could pull the lines out into a separate.conf file and then in the main file do:

include "separate.conf"

Then you have a single line that you can comment in/out as you wish with a #.

Not precisely what you want, but depending on why you want to do it, that might be of use.

This is PHP, correct? If so you would just use:

/* This is the start of my comment

This is more of my comment. This is

the end of my comment. */

Good luck.
