What is wrong, how to code block comments now?

I use: NodeMCU 0.9.6 build 20150704 powered by Lua 5.1.4

Thank you for answering a newbie question

Code: Select all[[   [[ ... ]]  ]]

is not recommended, but

Code: Select all[=[   [[ ... ]]  ]=]

is fine. Nothing to do with nodeMCU. This is standard Lua.
