Probably a better approach is to just bring the comment out and make
it part of the text. I think that's better in general anyway. In this
case something like:

Note parentheses around @code{integrate(...)} in code{f_2}.

@c ===beg===
[code, sans comment, goes here]
@c ===end===

I suppose the use of quote-quote is questionable -- it is easy to
misunderstand what it does -- but that's apart from the formatting
problem.

Hope this helps
