Multi-line comments in the star group

Asterisk also allows us to create block comments . A block comment is a comment that starts on one line and continues for several lines. Block comments begin with a sequence of characters

;--

and continue moving along several lines until a sequence of characters

--;

. The block comment ends immediately after -; meets.
