You mean "Comment out"?

Wouldn't a command-line option be better?

Looks like there some weird tabs versus spaces thing going on with these changes.

Do you know how to display tab characters in your editor? Or change your tab-size to see the issues with mixing spaces and tabs?

Code line this (all in one line) is hard to read. Why the magic number 60? What significance does it have? We can use a named/symbolic const (or var) instead?

The magic numbers in here are unnecessary and obfuscating: 0x0d is '\r'. 0x20 is ' '. 0x07 is LIGHTGRAY.

32 is also ' '.

tddemo.js looks more like tdtest.js instead?
