Version 2.1 is released so now you can upgrade your libraries and use comments in your code. With this version developers are able to use parser-level comment blocks:
<!--/* This code will be removed at thymeleaf parsing time! */-->
and prototype-only comment blocks:
<span>hello!</span>
<!--/*/
<div th:text="${...}">
</div>
/*/-->
<span>goodbye!</span>
Detailed explanation can be found in the official documentation here: http://www.thymeleaf.org/doc/tutorials/2.1/usingthymeleaf.html#comments-and-blocks
