            <p>In short: comments with shape files did not (do not maybe
              still ) work</p>
            <p>Solution: Just do not use ESRI-Shape files for work ;)</p>

                    <p>Hi Hugh,</p>
                    <p>that depends on the provider in use, a PostGIS
                      provider might behave differently from a
                      Shapefile. See if wrapping the comment in /*

                        <div>i've like to include a note to myself when
                          I filter things sometimes as it can be hard
                          months or years later to figure out the

                        <div>-- remove built neighborhood bikeway

                        <div>Maybe there's a better way to include this
                          note, but it seems that the closer the note is
                          to the filter query definition the more likely
