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). thi
