MATLAB: How to comment out unused arguments in function header

Question

I want to put arguments I am currently not using in certain function header into comments so that I can call the function without those arguments.

The reason for that, is that at the moment my code is not using those arguments, but I want them there for later, when I can suplly the actual arguments I need there.

Anyone know what I can use there? neither %{ %} nor … are working for some reason.

Is there something like /* */ from Java?

Consider writing your functions to take parameter/value pairs. By doing this, you could define optional parameters that don't need to be passed in, and the approach provides a clean, extensible interface.

A typical function written this way would take varargin as the function input and then use inputParser to define parameters and process them. For examples, see the doc:
