How to delete multi-line comment in Notepad++
I have an XML file saved in Notepad++ and I want to delete multi-line comments
(from <!-- through -->).
How can I do this globally (without going line by line)?
For example,
<Text>
<Text1>Hello</Text1>
<Text>
<!--<Text1>Hello</Text1> commented section
<Text> commented section
<Text1>Hello</Text1>--> commented section
<Text>
<Text1>Hello</Text1>

Do you just want to uncomment all multiline comments only, leaving normal comments?

According to this answer notepad++ doesn't have this functionality with XML. Possibly use another editor that does, just to perform that function.
I'd suggest vim with the tcomment plugin, but I presume you're unfamiliar with vim so that may be tricky to use. VSCode may be more intuitive for you.
