Does this mean that I shouldn't change the commenting style from the default as its part of the recommended ASDoc formatting scheme?
As long as the asdoc tool can read your comments then anything goes. I'm building the bundle to use any established conventions where possible, rather than my personal choice.
I've had some heated debates in the past over details such as the placement of a bracket or having a space before the * in a documentation line. I often find that, when I change to a different style for a couple of days, it quickly becomes the case that I can't really see what I was arguing about.
Cheers, Simon
