I want to comment this matching rule in lex. I don't want to delete it. I just want it commented so anyone sees the lex file later be informed that this part has been commented



<tickPragma_name_1>. 
myyyless(0);
BEGIN (0);



how I can do that? I know that I can comment the C code inside the .but I want to comment the whole rule.

          You can surround the rule with /* and */, just as in C, but with two major caveats:



          1. Everything needs to be indented by at least one space, including the /* (and, I believe, the contents).


          2. There cannot be any nested comments in the action.
