+@cindex IP2K line comment character
+The presence of a @samp{;} on a line indicates the start of a comment
+that extends to the end of the current line.
+
+If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line, the whole line
+is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
+logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
+control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
