Comments
</h3>
<p>
Comments — words in an <span class="lang">mdoc</span> document not interpreted by the formatter — are
indicated by the <a href="part2-1-2.xml#special_characters">special character</a> <span class="screen">\"</span>.
</p>
<div class="mdocin">
Regular text. \" In a comment.
<br />
.Em A macro . \" Another comment.
</div>
<p>
The comment extends from the special character to the end of the line. If the newline is escaped, the comment only
applies to the current line. In other words, the newline escape is commented.

<div class="mdocin">

A comment may span an entire line if it's specified as a pseudo-macro, that is, following the control character <span
