When writing a 'Ddoc' file, sometimes I've needed to place some comments into the file, and I don't mean HTML comments, but stuff which will not get generated at all. Anyhow, the way I've settled on is to code ...

 $(_ Some comment text and/or other macros eg. $(TITLE XYZZY) )

By using the non-existent macro "_", dmd just ignores everything to the next matching parenthesis.

Hope this is useful to someone else :)

He, he... funny. I thought about comments in .ddoc files, but have got no idea. This is solution, thanx.
