## Comments

### Non-doc comments

Comments follow the general Rust style of line (`//`) and block (`/* ... */`) comment forms.
Non-doc comments are interpreted as a form of whitespace.

```pest
/*
Block comment
*/
another_rule = { // line comment
... // whitespace goes anywhere
}
```

### Doc comments

Line doc comments begin with exactly three slashes `///`
and `//!` is used to document the entire grammar file.

```pest
//! A parser for JSON file.
json = { ... }
/// Matches object, e.g.: `{ "foo": "bar" }`
object = { ... }
```

Then will get

```rust
/// A parser for JSON file.
enum Rule {
json,
/// Matches object, e.g.: `{ "foo": "bar" }`
object,
}
```

`pest` grammars are lists of rules. Rules are defined like this:

```pest
//! Grammar doc
my_rule = { ... }
/// Rule doc
another_rule = { // comments are preceded by two slashes
... // whitespace goes anywhere
}
