Re: ELisp Multiline Comments

[Christopher Dimech <dimech@gmx.com>]

   Have tried using the following for writing multiline comments, but has
   worked.

   (defmacro multic (&rest _) nil)

   ELisp does not support multiline comments.
   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.
