   reconstruct this sentence

here's a reconstruction that uses "Emacs", which is at least accurate,
even if not mellifluous:

@vindex comment-multi-line
  The variable @code{comment-multi-line} controls how @kbd{C-M-j}
(@code{indent-new-comment-line}) behaves when used inside a comment.
Specifically, when @code{comment-multi-line} is @code{nil} (the
default value), Emacs inserts a @dfn{comment terminator}, begins a new
line, and finally inserts a @dfn{comment starter}.  For a non-@code{nil}
value, Emacs omits inserting the terminator and starter, effectively
continuing the current comment across multiple lines.  In languages
where multi-line comments work, the choice of value for this
variable is a matter of taste.

i put @dfn{} around the two terms i was not able to find in
programs.texi (perhaps they are @dfn{}ed properly elsewhere).
