	Comment folding is causing comments to be temporarily hidden.
Usually there's a little icon or some other marker indicating the
existence of a comment, but the comment itself is not visible unless you
explicitly make it visible.  This is an editor feature and has nothing
to do with processing of source code to produce documentation.

Have fun (if at all possible),
