Bug

What is the current behavior?

Angular's own directives (ngRepeat, ngIf, ...) don't work in comments, but the documentation suggests they should.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via https://plnkr.co or similar.

What is the expected behavior?

Either Angular directives should work in comments or the documentation needs to be updated.

All of the AngularJS-provided directives match attribute name, tag name, comments, or class name.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Being able to use ngIf and ngRepeat on multiple rows inside table.

Which versions of AngularJS, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of AngularJS? Please also test with the latest stable and snapshot (https://code.angularjs.org/snapshot/) versions.

1.5.x and 1.6.x

The docs are incorrect in this case. I'll update it.

Maybe state specifically that ng* directives are by default EA instead of just deleting the problematic sentence (and possibly rephrasing the "Best practice" section bellow it).

[Narretz]

most ng* directives aren't EA (most are just A). I've added this to the docs. I didn't change the best practice section, but if you have any changes, a PR is welcome :)
