You have two options: - Use `;;` and make sure to either ignore them or strip them when using the comments's content: ;; Multiline ;; Comment - Use unused arguments, e.g.: (defmacro multiline-comment (&rest _) nil) ... (multiline-comment Multiline Comment ) and then make sure you use those uses of `multiline-comment` only occur where an ELisp expression is expected (e.g. not within the arglist of a function) and make sure the text of those multiline comments corresponds to a valid read syntax of some ELisp data (e.g. properly matched parentheses and double quotes (but without counting those parens that occur after a semi-colon), no single quote just before an open paren, ...). I'd go with the first option. Stefan
