How to do a multiline comment in Julia?

Question

My Google search at first only lead me to a massive discussion thread on github (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/69). While certainly insightful and interesting, I think it is convenient for many to have this question answered immediately on stackoverflow.

Answer 1

Multiline comments can be written by putting #= before the comment and =# after the comment. Like so

#=
enter comment here
=#

Note that these are nestable as well.
