That while
Hello,
Just a quick question on comma. Suppose I say: He went on to understand that, while the world was evil, there were still a few good men.
I believe a comma after 'that' is necessary. Is it?

A comma represents a place where you would pause in speaking the sentence.
Yes, I would pause in both those places to show that the 'while' clause is parenthetical.
