This what I normally do by default, unless it's a one-line comment, in which case my preference is usually for this: /* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur */ I'm not convinced we really do _need_ to standardize on comment styles (I can foresee thousands and thousands of trivial patches being submitted and we'd probably be better off encouraging people to spend time actually improving the documentation instead of reformatting it :-), but if were going to standardize, that would be my vote. - Ted
