Comment Block

Definitions

1. A multi-line comment structure used to document code, disable sections temporarily, or provide descriptive text that spans more than a single line. Comment blocks are useful for summaries and doc comments, but overly long ones often become stale when they try to mirror every implementation detail.

   In plain English: A multi-line comment used to document or describe code.

   Example: "The parser generated API docs from a comment block above each handler, so keeping those summaries accurate mattered as much as the route definitions themselves."
