Re: [Doxygen-users] Is there such a thing as commenting-out doxygen markdown?

[Kerry, R. <ric...@at...>]

Yes, I thought it would be something like that.
Hence my query about whether the preprocessor acts before the lexical analyzer dumps the comments. 
I haven't really got the option of using /// as I am working with an existing document which has a comment of the form /*! Etc.
While I could edit the whole thing into that form I'm trying to avoid that as I am trying to keep the document as much as possible the same as the original.
