Comments in describe are much like comments in C++ or C#, or other C type languages - we have single line comments, that start with two slashes // and end with a new line, and we also have the delimited type, starting with slash and a star - /* and ending with a star and a slash - */.

Note that, a colon before two forward slashes :// will escape the comment. This is done because we want to be able to write links in text - https://abc... e.g. without the need to escape the forward slashes, which would be annoying. On the other hand, we can escape the colon, if need to have a comment right after a column - \://. This feature, however - about the colon before two forward slashes - will only work in Describe language version 1.0 or higher.

Example:

//our solar system
solar system ->

	rocky planets -> //innermost

		/* 1-st */ Mercury,
		/* 2-nd */ Venus,
		/* 3-rd */ Earth,
		/* 4-th */ Mars;

	gas giants ->

		Jupiter,
		Saturn;

	ice giants -> //outermost

		Uranus,
		Neptune;
