This is correct. I was just pointing out (though, admittedly, not very
clearly) that the final part of the next sentence in the manual,
"sometimes it is convenient to put them into a comment line", isn't.

As I announced a few times already, targets are going to change a bit
and _commented_ targets will not be possible anymore in the new
exporter.

On the other hand, every regular target will be invisible. Let me
explain.

At the moment, "<<tag>>" and "# <<tag>>" produce, respectively, "<a
name="tag" id="tag">tag</a>" and "<a name="tag" id="tag"></a>".

In a not so distant future "<<tag>>" will produce "<a name="tag"
id="tag"></a>" and "# <<tag>>" will be ignored.

<<tag>> should suffice for that task.

I hope this is clearer now.
