How do I comment out a block of code in Stan?

Question

This feels like a duplicate question, but I can't find it anywhere here or elsewhere!

So, in R, you can comment out a block of code with Ctrl + Shift + C / Cmd + Shift + C . Does anyone know how to perform the equivalent action in Stan? All I know is that Stan uses // in place of R's # . I've tried Ctrl + Shift + / / Cmd + Shift + / , to no avail.

Thanks so much for any help: :)

You can create a comment within your Stan code by using the following:

/* this is a comment block
as opposed to a single
line block */
