Hello Mike,
what do you mean here--Damian didn't use \#?
Carsten
His example was
.H 2 "A Heading"
.TS
.\" some table of something
.....
.TE
or
.H 2 "Another Heading"
.DS 0
.\" some display which needs to be done literally
.....
.DE
Without trying to complicate the discussion, I used
.\"
Not
\#
The former is a pure comment. It does not enter into any processing.
As I understand it, any number of these comments, i.e. a line beginning
.\"
should be able to be inserted (and assumed ignored) into the text anywhere
inside a troff, or groff document, except within those preprocessor pairs
such as PS/PE, EQ/EN, and probably strictly TS/TE.
