Proper way to put comments in build events command line?

Question

What's the proper way to put comments into the pre/post build event command line?

Answer 1

Use REM: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/comments.php

An example:

REM signtool sign /a $(TargetPath) xcopy /Y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Deploy\$(TargetFileName)" 

Answer 2

You can also use double colons ::

:: My comments xcopy /Y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Deploy\$(TargetFileName)" 

I prefer these to the REM keyword in command line (and bat files).
