How can I ignore everything except a specified environment?

Question

In other words, I'd like to have the comment environment of the verbatim package "inverted". I am pretty sure I read about some package allowing this some time ago, but I can't recall its name (nor can I Google it), and I don't want to reinvent the wheel...

Also note: there is also the comment package which allows you to define your own comment environments and enable or disable them. — Martin Scharrer, May 19 '11 at 17:11
I know that, but still this is not what I want. But thanks anyway! — mbork, May 19 '11 at 17:30

OK, so I found it myself. It is the xcomment package. (From a glance at the code I suppose that it's an old, LaTeX 2.09 style file, but it seems to work fine with LaTeX2e.)

A small code example would be great. – Martin Scharrer May 14 '12 at 10:32

The preview package provides a preview environment and when active (active option) only displays the content in such environments. However, every environment is placed on its a page of its own, which might not what you want.
