3.2.5. Comments

Comment in procedures should be either multi-line::

!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
! The dashed lines should end in column 80
!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or single-line::

!--- This is a single line comment ---

Blank lines should be avoided (to maximize the visible code in editor windows), but if deemed absolutely essential to increase readability, they should have a leading comment sign, flush with surrounding lines (to allow fast skipping to the next procedure in editors)::
