comments in customise variables

comments in customise variables

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to insert comments in the (custom-set-variables...) 
block? Every time I customise a new variable and save it, all my old 
comments disappear. I have tried commenting like this,

;; comments
'(some-var value)

'(some-var value) ; comments

Neither of them survive after customising a new variable. Any thoughts?

Put the comment outside of the custom-set-variables form.

(custom-set-variables
  ...
  '(some-var value)
  ...)

;; ...
;; some-var: comment
;; ...
