[R] How to use multi paragraph comment like /* and */ in cpp?

[Sven E. Templer]

One way I know to do this is (in bash) to use a dummy variable and make the
comment a multiline character string:

dummy <- c("
This is my multiline
comment or code block.
")

or if printing does not disturb you, just use:

"
...
"

Use ' if you have " in the block.
Other workarounds are here, which you find when using a search engine:

Hope this helps.

@Duncan: sorry sending the mail to you twice.
