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.
