How Do You Add Comments in a Vbscript

How do you comment code in VBScript?

If in doubt, review The Documentation

^{Taken from Rem Statement}
As shown in the syntax section, you can use an apostrophe (') instead of the Rem keyword. If the Rem keyword follows other statements on a line, it must be separated from the statements by a colon. However, when you use an apostrophe, the colon is not required after other statements.

Below is example using both methods

Rem This is a comment
'This is also a comment

Call SomeFunction(SomeValue) : Rem This is an inline comment
Call SomeFunction(SomeValue) 'This is also an inline comment

There is no real reason to use Rem it's just a throw back from BASIC. The apostrophe approach works just as well as it is less intrusive in my opinion but it is entirely user preference.

What about block comments?

VBScript does not support block comments. Each line must start with either Rem or an Apostrophe '.
