The deal is that if you start your comments with "/**" they'll be
processed with the retarded script to produce pretty html.

For the most part the comments that generate pretty html also read well,
and we don't expect or want anyone to go overboard with markup. I don't
think it's unreasonable to make small concessions to improve generated
documentation for people who care about it even if you don't.

BR,
Jani.
