# Asterisk Project : Block Comments

Added by malcolmd , edited by lmadsen on Apr 28, 2011

Asterisk also allows us to create block comments. A block comment is a comment that begins on one line, and continues for several lines. Block comments begin with the character sequence

    ;--

and continue across multiple lines until the character sequence

    --;

is encountered. The block comment ends immediately after --; is encountered.

    [section-name]
    setting=true
    ;-- this is a block comment that begins on this line
    and continues across multiple lines, until we
    get to here --;
