I have here an nginx config. I need to comment out blocks in it:
...things I want...
...things I don't want...
...things I want...
The things are 30-50 lines long, and I won't backup and delete them. I also don't want write #s to the beginning of 30-50 code lines, and I also don't want to script/configure my text editor to do this. I think it is a quite trivial feature.
I tried
...things I want...
/*
...things I don't want...
*/
...things I want...
But it doesn't work. Is it really an unsupported feature in the nginx?

Nginx configuration files don't support comment blocks; they only accept
#at the beginning of a line for a comment. You can also have a valid statement followed by a#and then a comment on the same line. (Source.)If you have between 30 and 50 lines to ditch out I'd suggest to remove the block entirely (after making a copy of the file), to avoid confusion.
