Hi max and all,

Joris answered my question before. This could be implemented by a macro like

(show-comment "body") = body
(hide-comment "body") = empty

and use an if branch to detect whether the boolean variable draft-mode is
true or not, and then return show-comment or hide-comment macro.

There is a disadvantage of this implement: when I set draft-mode to be false,
there will be an extra empty line. I don't know how to suppress it.

Meanwhile, you can add comments to
http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/tricks-for-drafts/199/4
then somehow export it to wiki.

Best,
Frank
