+@cindex M68HC11 line comment character
+The presence of a @samp{;} character or a @samp{!} character anywhere
+on a line indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end of
+that line.

+A @samp{*} or a @samp{#} character at the start of a line also
+introduces a line comment, but these characters do not work elsewhere
+on the line. If the first character of the line is a @samp{#} then as
+well as starting a comment, the line could also be logical line number
+directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor control command
+(@pxref{Preprocessing}).
