How to remove comments from generated HTML

[askyx]

Question

I have some comments in md files like this <!-- some content -->，this comments will output to generated HTML, If someone looks at the source code of the webpage they will see the comments too.

Is there a way to ignore comments completely while generating the html pages?

addtional, hugo use --minify to support this

adding the --minify feature that would also remove comments sound like a good idea, but as far as I know currently there is no feature to remove comments.

You could add a "post processing" step to the process building the book. e.g. in the CI add

find book -name *.html | xargs perl -i -p -e 's{<!-- .* -->}{}g'

This would remove any single-line html comment from the generated html files.
