I wonder if I could ask a question that follows on from Bernd's
sentiment. He points out that the IDE will pick up a comment /before/ a
declaration, but for getting on for 30 years I've been putting comments
immediately /after/ and that includes the positioning of a unit summary.
Use the < sign at the beginning.
a=1;
//< Comment for a
b=2;
//< Comment for b

Thanks, I was reading it. Would be nice if the no-space restriction
could be relaxed. If every line of a comment block is terminated does
the IDE pick up all of them and does each one need < at the start?
All three comment formats are supported by the IDE:
//
{}
(**)
Does this include manually-inserted TODOs? I'd also note- although it's
not really relevant for documentation- that braces appear to be favoured
for directives: (*$MACRO didn't work when I tried it a few months ago.
