There's several ways to do comments in PmWiki:

1.  One can use the %comment% wikistyle, which uses CSS's "display:none"
attribute to cause the comment to not be displayed on the browser
(it still appears in the page source, however).

2.  There's the (:comment ... :) directive -- anything placed before the
trailing ":)" is treated as a comment and removed entirely when converted
to HTML.

3.  There's the conditional-markup form you mentioned above, with
        (:if false:)
        stuff to be ignored
        more stuff to be ignored
        (:ifend:)
