The text of a documentation comment consists of the characters between the /**
that begins the comment and the */ that ends it. The text is divided into one or
more lines. On each of these lines, leading * characters are ignored; for lines other
than the first, blanks and tabs preceding the initial * characters are also discarded.
So, for example, in the comment:
/**XYZ ** Initialize to pre-trial defaults. 123*/
the text of the comment has three lines. The first line consists of the text "XYZ";
the second line consists of the text " Initialize to pre-trial defaults."
and the third line consists of the text "123"
